Security News > 2020 > September > Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday Packed with Critical RCE Bugs

Microsoft has released patches for 129 security bugs in its September Patch Tuesday update.
Another critical RCE vulnerability that should be prioritized for patching is CVE-2020-1210, which exists in SharePoint due to a failure to check an application package's source markup.
September's slew of patches also features several other RCE bugs, including one in the Microsoft Windows Codecs Library, which is used by multiple applications and can therefore affect a wide range of programs.
September's Patch Tuesday release continues a trend of high-volume security updates.
Adobe fixed five critical cross-site scripting flaws in Experience Manager as part of its regularly scheduled patches on Tuesday.
