The operating system row lists a KB which will be used for update offering purposes. When the operating system KB is offered, the applicability logic will determine the specific .NET Framework update(s) will be installed. Updates for individual .NET Framework versions will be installed based on the version of .NET Framework that is already present on the device. Because of this the operating system KB is not expected to be listed as installed updates on the device. The expected update to be installed are the .NET Framework specific version updates listed in the table above.

The CVE links are all 404 for me. Is it the space character in the links?
Thank you Qing for reporting this. The links should work now.
CVE-2023-36038 https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/advisory/CVE-2023-36038 does not mention dot net framework, while here you have mentioned dot net framework for the CVE. Even the KB articles for framework are mentioning the CVE, can you tell me which of the details is correct?
CVE-2023-36558 also has a similar issue.
Hi Pooja, Thank you for reporting this issue. We have updated the blog post to correct the CVEs which are listed.
Why the last table don’t include the updates for Server 2012 / 2012 R2?
and why there were not Security Only Updates for both this month? :hmmm:
Nevermind about the 2012 security only, it was planned to discontinue them
