Compared to previous releases with their huge number of bug fixes, Patch Tuesday for May 2023 is a rather meager update providing security fixes for a total of 38 different flaws.

Flaws fixed by the latest Patch Tuesday are classified as follows: eight elevation of privilege vulnerabilities, four security feature bypass vulnerabilities, 12 remote code execution vulnerabilities, eight information disclosure vulnerabilities, five denial of service (DOS) vulnerabilities, and one spoofing vulnerability.
