Today is Patch Tuesday for Microsoft software and operating system users but apparently it's only Tuesday, without Patches. Όχι μην φαντάζεστε ότι τα προϊόντα της εταιρείας δεν είχαν κάποιο κενό στην better safety. Barely…
Microsoft has published a laconic announcement on its unusual situation:
“Our first priority is to provide the best possible experience to our customers for the maintenance and protection of their systems. This month, we discovered an issue at the last minute that could affect some customers and was not resolved in time for our scheduled upgrade today.”
"After considering all the options, we decided to delay this month's updates. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change. "
This may be the first time the company has released the regular updates from Patch Tuesday since security patches began releasing every second Tuesday of the month.
As Zack Whittaker of ZDNet says, the current delay means that there is no correction so far for the SMB bug to close the gap that exploits a exploit already in circulation.
Microsoft has modified the update schedule since last year, but the second Tuesday of the month remains the scheduled scheduled Tuesday for updates or as it is for years known as Patch Tuesday.
This day's updates, security or not, come for all Microsoft products, and especially the most used ones: Windows, Office, Internet Explore and Microsoft Edge. It remains to be seen the exact reason for the delay, which we will probably find out after the updates are released... Until then, sail safe...
