Security News > 2022 > July > July 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast: A summertime lull?

With those major updates now in place, could we see a summertime lull in the July 2022 Patch Tuesday updates?
We saw a rare SQL server update last Patch Tuesday and I don't anticipate another this month.
This Patch Tuesday will see the final ESU update for SQL Server 2008 R2, but I'm hoping that won't impact many of you.
July 2022 Patch Tuesday forecast We saw a much smaller number of CVEs addressed last month and I expect that trend to continue in July.
Only a handful of Office applications were updated last month so I anticipate a full suite of Office updates.
With the exception of maybe some major Adobe updates for Acrobat and Reader next week, it should be a fairly quiet July Patch Tuesday with just some standard releases from Microsoft.
