Microsoft Patch Tuesday — December 2018: Vulnerability disclosures and Snort coverage
Summary: Cisco Talos reported on Microsoft's monthly security updates, citing 1,328 vulnerabilities in the November 2026 release, 60 marked critical, including 45 remote code execution flaws. The same post also lists 1,415 vulnerabilities for October 2026 with 85 critical, and 973 for September 2026 with 113 critical.
Bottom line: Forty-five critical RCE flaws in a single month's patch batch means a large share of the fixes carry code-execution risk, and the volume across three months runs from 973 to 1,415 - a patching load that strains any team's ability to test and deploy before attackers move.
