rce patch delay

The tag 'rce patch delay' covers situations where Microsoft delays security updates for remote code execution vulnerabilities, particularly in Office for Mac. A recent example is CVE-2026-44823, an Excel RCE flaw for which patches for Office LTSC for Mac 2021, 2024, and Microsoft 365 for Mac were not immediately available as of the June 9, 2026 advisory. This highlights a fragmented patch reality where unified branding does not guarantee simultaneous fixes across platforms. The tag is relevant for Mac administrators and IT professionals tracking delayed security updates for critical RCE vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office.
