Security News > 2023 > January > January 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast: Procrastinate at your own risk

If you procrastinated to deploy these updates the last two months, you are now running at high risk.

January 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast There were no preview updates in December as usual due to the holidays, so the first release of the year is always interesting.

Contrary to my prediction, the December Patch Tuesday release was small in terms of CVEs fixed, so I anticipate a high number of CVEs addressed in both the operating systems and applications updates.

The new first quarter is here, so expect a major update for Adobe Acrobat and Reader.

The last updates from Mozilla with reported CVEs are from mid-to-late December for Firefox, Firefox ESR, and Thunderbird.

There have been additional releases since then, so we may not see a major update from them next week either.
