The September 2021 Patch Tuesday updates from Microsoft came out this week.
The fix that everyone was waiting for with bated breath was the patch for CVE-2021-40444, a zero-day remote code execution bug in MSHTML that was announced by Microsoft just days before Patch Tuesday came around:
Remotable bugs in MSHTML, which is the web renderer used by Internet Explorer (IE), are always a big deal, especially if the crooks find them before the Good Guys do.
With so little time left before Patch Tuesday, the big ask of Microsoft was, "Will they make it?"… and, fortunately, the answer was "Yes":
Of course, most Patch Tuesday updates close off more than just one security hole, and some of the others often don't get much publicity, either because they were found by the Good Guys first, making the patch proactive, or they don't affect every computer on your network.
