Essential Security Updates for SQL Server Versions 2016 to 2022

Gather ’round, SQL Server aficionados, because Microsoft has just dropped a fresh batch of security patches for SQL Server 2022, 2019, 2017, and 2016! It’s like Christmas came early for database administrators everywhere. 🎄✨

Now, before you start popping the champagne, let’s dive into what these updates are all about. Microsoft has released a series of GDR security updates, and you can find all the juicy details in their security advisory.

But here’s the kicker: these updates aren’t introducing any groundbreaking security fixes. Instead, they’re here to clean up the mess left behind by the last round of patches. Remember those pesky functional bugs in Change Data Capture (CDC) from the September update? Well, Microsoft heard your cries and decided to give those bugs the boot. It’s like a software spring cleaning, and who doesn’t love a tidy database?

For those of you who love the nitty-gritty details, you can check out the description of the security update for SQL Server 2022 CU14. It’s a riveting read, I promise.

Now, if you’re sitting there thinking, “But what about new security vulnerabilities?” Fear not, dear reader. This update is all about refining and perfecting the previous patches. It’s like upgrading from a regular coffee to a double-shot espresso – same great taste, just a little more kick.
