Security News > 2021 > August > Microsoft Patch Tuesday bug drought: No, it's not climate change or unexpected code quality improvements

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by the fact that it's August and Patch Tuesday brings word of only 44 vulnerabilities in Microsoft's software.
There's a bit of selective counting here however, given that Microsoft has been patching Edge's Chromium bugs separately.
Adobe meanwhile published two patch bundles, APSB21-66 Security update available for Adobe Connect and APSB21-64 Security?updates available?for Magento, which together address 29 CVEs.
"The Critical-rated patch for Magento fixes a wide range of bugs, the worst of which could allow remote code execution," said Childs.
"With nine critical patches in total, SAP customers are facing the most noteworthy SAP Patch Day this year," said Thomas Fritsch, content manager for security biz Onapsis, in a blog post.
"SAP Security Note #3071984, tagged with a CVSS score of 9.9, patches a vulnerability in SAP Business One that allows an attacker to upload files, including script files, to the server," said Fritsch.
