Microsoft is addressing 176 vulnerabilities today, which seems like a lot, and it is. Curiously, Microsoft’s own Security Update Guide (SUG) for September 2025 Patch Tuesday only lists 86 vulns, and that’s because the SUG doesn’t include a large number of open source software (OSS) fixes published today as part of updates for Azure Linux and CLB Mariner.
