Microsoft patched a record of 208 security vulnerabilities, but the update has introduced a string of bugs that range from cosmetic annoyances to machines locked out of their own drives. (thenextweb.com)

It's like Microsoft is advertising for Linux at this point, lol.

"KB5094126 patched 208 security vulnerabilities on June 9, but the update has triggered Recycle Bin display glitches, BitLocker lockouts on enterprise hardware, OneDrive failures, and system freezes, with the first fix not expected until July 14."

Microsoft confirmed the issue on June 18 and said a fix would not arrive until July 14. The company attributed the bug to a security hardening change that closed a 23-year-old unchecked-buffer vulnerability in the Windows Shell’s desktop.ini processor.

Inspiring confidence!

I'm confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?

The vulnerability existed for 23 years, was recently discovered and patched and that patch introduced a new bug
