On October 12, 2021 Microsoft released Security Updates for vulnerabilities found in Exchange server 2013 CU23, Exchange server 2016 (CU21/CU22) and Exchange server 2019 (CU10/CU11). Severity is marked as ‘important’.
If you are running one of these versions, it is recommended to apply these security updates. Please note that the security updates are CU specific, and these are not interchangeable. Security updates are also cumulative, so these security updates contain all previous security updates for the same cumulative update. If you are running an older version of Exchange, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest Cumulative Update and apply the security updates. You can use the healthchecker script to inventory your environment.
Please use the Microsoft Security Update Guide for more specific information about the vulnerabilities.
As always, after downloading the security updates, start the installation from an elevated command prompt (‘run as administrator’). This does not apply when installing from Windows Update or WSUS. And of course, please the security updates in a test environment first before installing in production.
