Microsoft’s October Patch Tuesday addressed 1,413 vulnerabilities, according to CrowdStrike’s analysis, including 75 Critical flaws and a Windows zero-day already being exploited by attackers.
Released Oct. 13, the updates address security weaknesses across Windows, Office, .NET, and other Microsoft products. The release includes three zero-days: one actively exploited vulnerability and two others that were publicly disclosed before fixes became available.
