As expected, Microsoft released 10 patches today covering a variety of Windows and Office flaws; however, many organizations didn't get the patches until hours after they were released due to a glitch in Redmond's automatic distribution system.
According to a Microsoft Security Response Center Blog post made today by Craig Gehre, Microsoft experienced a "delay in [its] release process" due to "unexpected issues" -- meaning that the patches were not instantly distributed via WSUS, Automatic Updates, Windows Update and Microsoft Update.
"To be clear, it's a delay due to the networking for these systems," Gehre wrote. "There are no issues with the security updates themselves. Also, this issue doesn't affect customers using Software Update Services (SUS), Windows Update v4 or Office Update."
