march patch tuesday fixes cves
The third major round of updates for Microsoft Windows 10 and are here, and they are called the March Patch Tuesday Updates. As a whole, they bring improvement and fixes for several features, including:
  • Microsoft Patches
  • Fixes for 115 CVEs
Strangely enough, this month’s round of Patch Tuesday Updates contains no updates for Adobe Products. In February, Adobe had multiple releases, so it’s very likely security patches will be released at some point in March. We will update this article accordingly as soon as this happens.

115 CVEs were found and fixed this month

Out of the 115 total CVEs,, 26 are listed as Critical, while 88 are listed as Important, and one is listed as Moderate in severity. Additionally, none of the bugs being patched are listed as being publicly known or under active attack at the time of release.

  • Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
  • Dynamics Business Central Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

These are the most important CVEs covered by Microsoft during the March 2020 round of Patch Tuesday Updates. For the next set of updates, users will have to wait until April 14.
