July, 2025: Patch Tuesday - A Large Number of Patches but Only One Zero-Day

Welcome to my July Patch Tuesday newsletter. Today Microsoft released 137 updates and an additional 3 in the past month for a total of 140 updates.

We have more than double the updates this month compared to last month but the good thing is we only have one zero-day to look at:

Publicly known:
- CVE-2025-49719 (Information Disclosure)
  - Improper input validation in SQL Server allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

This vulnerability was patched today. If you have one of the affected versions of SQL Server installed (see chart below) please update it. Also, if you have an application using SQL make sure you update your application to use MS OLE DB Driver 18 or 19. You have time to get these tested and updated because the severity is only "Important" and the Exploitability Assessment is "Exploitation Less Likely".

Besides this one, there are another 14 updates that are rated "Critical":

So, we do have a good bit of updating that needs to be done. You will want to download, update and reboot those systems. See you next month!
