Security News > 2021 > December > December 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast: How do you stack up?

While there are older vulnerabilities dating back to 2014, most of these vulnerabilities are from 2020-2021 and updating an entire organization can take months of planning and execution if you don't have an efficient patch management infrastructure in place.

Assuming we have a few quiet weeks following Patch Tuesday, take a moment to compare your program to these and see how you stack up.

I anticipate a very light Patch Tuesday as we are already halfway through December and many vendors have already released their updates for the month.

December 2021 Patch Tuesday forecast Can you believe there were only 22 CVEs associated with Windows 11 and 29 in Windows 10 updates last month? Expect a similar light set of CVEs addressed this month in the set of Windows 10/11, legacy, and ESU-supported operating systems.

There were only three product updates, including Creative Cloud, released in early November so we may see a lot of product updates soon.

Mozilla had their usual pre-Patch Tuesday week of security updates for Firefox 95, Firefox ESR 91.4, and Thunderbird 91.4 this week.
