Microsoft Patch Tuesday - September 2013

Application Compatibility Update with Dell Software's ChangeBASE

With this September Microsoft Patch Tuesday update, we see a set of 13 updates; 4 of which are marked as “Critical” and 9 rated as “Important”.

The Patch Tuesday Security Update analysis was performed by the Dell ChangeBASE Patch Impact team and identified a small percentage of applications from the thousands of applications included in testing for this release which showed amber issues.

Of the thirteen patches, 3 "require a restart to load correctly",  and 10 "may require a restart", so the usual advice is that it is probably best to assume all require a restart to be installed correctly.

Sample Results 

Here are two sample results showing amber warnings generated as a result of patch MS13-069.
