Doubt related to the compatibility for a Security update

Question

Hi,

I'd really appreciated it if someone could shed some light on this issue.

Having a Windows Server 2019 and trying to find out how to patch the vulnerability CVE-2019-1316.

According to this site, the Microsoft Security Response Center, https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2019-1316. It affects Windows Server 2019 and it is solved by the article KB4519337.

On the other hand, the Microsoft Update Catalog associate KB4519337 to Windows 10 only:

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4519337

Do you know how to discover if patch KB4519337 is really compatible with Windows Server 2019?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Chema Martínez ,

Thank you for posting here.

Q: Do you know how to discover if patch KB4519337 is really compatible with Windows Server 2019?
A: No, patch KB4519337 is not compatible with Windows Server 2019.

From the Microsoft Update Catalog, we can see it applies to Windows 10 1809.

And from the following link, we can see:

Dynamic Update can help organizations and end users alike ensure that their Windows 10 devices have the latest feature update content (as part of an in-place upgrade)—and preserve precious features on demand (FODs) and language packs (LPs) that may have been previously installed. Further, Dynamic Update also eliminates the need to install a separate quality update as part of the in-place upgrade process.

For more information, we can refer to link below.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for your quick response!

So, if this patch only applies to Windows 10 1809, do you have any idea of why the MSRC assigns it as a solution for CVE-2019-1316 in Windows Server 2019?

As we can read at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2019-1316.

Chema.
