Security News > 2021 > September > September 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast: It’s new operating system season
Apple also has the beta available for the next version of macOS. But let's start by focusing on a new Office vulnerability before next week's Patch Tuesday.
September 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast I expect a limited number of CVEs addressed this month across all the operating systems as Microsoft comes back from final summer vacation.
We're now past the half-way point for the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 and Server 2008/2008 R2 so anyone running these operating systems should be working on an upgrade scheme.
Google released a stable channel update for Chrome OS to 93.0.4577.69 on September 8th and several beta channel updates for other products this week so don't expect a security release next week.
If you haven't already distributed these security updates, factor them into your next patch cycle.
Software updates typically pick up in October and November prior to the end-of-year holidays and we also need to factor in adding support for the release of all these new operating systems.
