This May Patch Tuesday release is very much a “back-to-basics” update with just 78 patches for Microsoft Windows, Office, Visual Studio, and .NET. Notably, Microsoft has not released any patches for Microsoft Exchange Server or Microsoft SQL Server.
Due to the concerns of publicly reported exploits for five Windows vulnerabilities, the Application Readiness team has recommended a “Patch Now” schedule for Windows and a standard release cadence for the other platforms. To help navigate these changes, the team from Readiness has provided a helpful infographic detailing the risks of deploying updates to each platform.
Known issues
There are still reports of issues with devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411 installed on Windows 10 platforms. This is an ongoing issue, with no further reported fixes or updates from Citrix or Microsoft. Otherwise (at the time of writing), Microsoft has not reported any issues with this month’s update for its Windows desktop and server platforms.
