Microsoft Patch Tuesday

[Ednei P. de Melo]

This is terrible. And most of the time, implementing updates almost always ends up bringing side effects.In my opinion, Microsoft should rethink the way it "packages" the software stack that makes up the operating system. Instead of bloating, the system should be leaner and equipped with the minimum possible components, leaving the rest to be installed from its online store. But this would not be good for its business... &;-D

Microsoft issued 71 patches for December Patch Tuesday to address vulnerabilities that include a zero-day bug in the Windows Common Log File System, which is under active exploit, and could enable system-level privileges.

Other critical vulnerabilities include a remote code execution flaw in Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and one in Hyper-V, that could allow code execution on the host operating system.

71 patches? Just for the month of December? Ouch!!!!

What is the Problem? they have lots of Products.
Ever looked, what ORacle releases every 3 months or so:
Starting in April 2022, Critical Patch Updates are released on the third Tuesday of January, April, July, and Octobe

in 2023 there was on Patchday from Oracle with 327 Patches..
Adobe in Dec. 2024 over 160 Patches released.
So, what is better now? Microsoft or Oracle?
