[German]On January 11, 2022, Microsoft released security updates for Windows clients and servers, for Office, etc. – as well as for other products – were released. Below is a compact overview of these updates that were released on Patchday.

A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft page. Details about the update packages for Windows, Office, etc. are available in separate blog posts.
Notes on the updates
Windows 10 version 2004 through 21H2 share a common core and have an identical set of system files. Therefore, the same security update will be delivered for these Windows 10 versions. Information on how to enable the features of Windows 10 version 1909 as well as 20H2, which is done through an Enablement Package update, can be found in this Techcommunity post.
All Windows 10 updates are cumulative. The monthly Patchday update includes all security fixes for Windows 10 and all non-security fixes through Patchday. In addition to vulnerability security patches, the updates include security enhancement measures. Microsoft is integrating the Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) into the Latest Cumulative Updates (LCUs) for newer versions of Windows 10. A list of the latest SSUs can be found at ADV990001 (although the list is not always up-to-date).
Windows 7 SP1 is no longer supported as of January 2020. Only customers with a 2nd year ESU license (or workarounds) will still receive updates for the last time in January 2022. For upcoming patches an ESU license for the 3rd year is required. The current ESU bypass allows the update to be installed. Updates can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Windows RT 8.1 and Microsoft Office RT updates are only available through Windows Update.
Windows Server 2016 will reach the end of mainstream support on January 11, 2022, after five years. No more bug fixes will come, only security updates will be distributed.

A critical vulnerability CVE-2022-21840 has been closed in Microsoft Office, which allows remote code execution (RCE). For administrators of Windows Server 2012 R2, I already have a notice that a boot loop occurs (blog post to follow).
Fixed vulnerabilities
The January 2022 security updates fix 125 bugs and close vulnerabilities (97 CVEs, 4 are 0-days, 9 are critical, 88 are important) in Microsoft products. Two patches affect open source libraries. A list of all CVEs covered can be found on this Microsoft page. Tenable has listed all fixed vulnerabilities in this blog post.
