From InfoWorld: On Tuesday Microsoft released a bunch of patches, most of which will elicit little more than a snore from users. One of the patches still hasn't been documented -- Microsoft's posts not being in sync with its bits is common problem -- and a bunch of older security bulletins haven't been updated. But such are the vagaries of the patching business.
There are seven new patches for MS16-019, the Important security bulletin released last Tuesday that deals with .Net-based denial-of-service attacks. According to the Software Update master list, they all apply to versions of .Net in Windows Embedded. Oddly, the underlying KB articles haven't been updated to say they pertain to Windows Embedded.
The other 40 patches (there's a complete list on AskWoody.com) mostly apply to servers.
One patch, KB 3095113, updates Server 2012 and 2012 R2 so that they better "sync and distribute feature upgrades for Windows 10." Apparently if you try to sync upgrades in WSUS without applying this patch, you'll get an unholy mess that "is recoverable but the process is nontrivial and can be avoided altogether if you make sure to install the update before enabling sync of upgrades."
