“Patch Tuesday” is an unofficial term used to refer to the second Tuesday of each month, when Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle, Google and other vendors regularly release software patches for their software products. Critical security updates are occasionally released outside of the normal Patch Tuesday cycle, but these are known as “Out-of-band” releases. Security updates for August 13th 2024 include 6 known to be exploited flaws and 7 critical patches among a total of 92 vulnerabilities this month.
