Microsoft releases a number of updates to patch security vulnerabilities in its products.

These updates correspond to the following Jamf Auto Update titles:

• Microsoft Excel, 2021 & 365
• Microsoft Word, 2021 & 365
• Microsoft Edge

If you are on our managed service platform datajar.mobi, these updates have been tested and released to all customers with immediate effect, leveraging our Auto Update framework.

To expedite the rollout of these patches we have reset the usual weekly patch cycle, so all macOS devices that are powered on with an active network connection should receive these patches within the next one to two hours. If you have the application/s open while the respective patch is downloaded, you will be prompted to log out to install this as normal.

If you have any problems, concerns or questions, please let us know.
