Security News > 2023 > October > October 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast: Operating system updates and zero-days aplenty

The November Patch Tuesday cumulative update will include the Moment 4 features and updates.

This patch Tuesday will include the last updates for Windows 11 21H2 and Microsoft Server 2012/2012 R2. The later go into Extended Security Support starting with a November release, and Microsoft also announced the keys used to enable these updates will be managed as part of Azure Arc.

October 2023 Patch Tuesday forecast There will probably be many CVE updates next week as Microsoft rolls all the September activity into the OS and Edge cumulative releases.

Mozilla released their last round of updates for Firefox, Firefox ESR and Thunderbird on September 28, so expect another round of updates next week.

Take a close look at all the updates that will be released next week before you queue up your updates for deployment.

You'll want to verify that all the zero-day updates from the past month are covered in either a new cumulative update, or if the vendor doesn't have a new update, that you've deployed the critical patch earlier in the month.
