Security News > 2022 > April > April 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast: Spring is in the air (and vulnerable)
March Patch Tuesday releases followed in the footsteps of February with low numbers of CVEs reported and resolved, and all updates rated as important except one critical update for Microsoft Exchange Server.
Could April Patch Tuesday provide the deluge of critical updates we were expecting last month?
If you haven't been following all the action in March and early April, plan on identifying and including the applicable updates for these products in your Patch Tuesday rollout.
April 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast Plan for more critical updates this month; I don't see the trend of only important ones continuing.
Operating system updates will include the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7 and Server 2008.
Don't forget the Oracle Critical Product Update is coming next week on April 19th. With all this Java-related activity from Log4j and Spring, we may see a large set of CVEs in that release.
