The company also issued several SharePoint non-security updates, as well as fixed separate issues affecting the Microsoft 365 Apps version of Outlook. Microsoft urged customers to install security updates for three critical and high severity Windows TCP/IP security bugs as soon as possible due to the elevated exploitation risk.
