From InfoWorld: Microsoft's monthly Patch Tuesday security bulletin summary shows 12 security bulletins today, eight of which are rated Critical. SANS Institute draws out MS15-127/KB 3100465 (a DNS hole on Windows Server) as particularly noteworthy, but lists only one known exploit for all of the new patches -- albeit for an "important," not "critical" patch.
The Office patches are huge. Poster Rick on AskWoody.com says his Windows 10 v 1511 + Office 2016 patches this month ran a total of 938MB.
Then there's Windows 10. Microsoft has started pushing KB 3116900 on machines running Windows 10 version 1511, the Fall Update/Threshold 2 version. The KB article (newly available) says it includes security updates for MS15-124, MS15-125, MS15-126, MS15-128, MS15-132, MS15-133, and MS15-135. In other words, almost all of the security holes fixed this month also affected Windows 10. MS15-125, an Edge patch, only applies to Windows 10.
Worthy of note: This CU boosts the winver version number (type "winver" in the Cortana Search box and press Enter) from 10586.17 to 10586.29.
