In the list below you can see the categories of vulnerabilities and their number per category:
- 30 vulnerabilities that allow remote code execution
- 18 vulnerabilities that elevate privileges on vulnerable systems
- 7 vulnerabilities that allow information disclosure
- 7 vulnerabilities for Denial of Service attacks
- 1 vulnerability that allows bypassing security
The above list does not include the sixteen vulnerabilities that were fixed in Microsoft Edge before the release of Patch Tuesday.
The patches address vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Windows Components, Azure and Azure Arc, .NET and Visual Studio and .NET Framework, Microsoft Edge, Office and Office Components, Windows Defender, and Linux Kernel.

Two zero-day vulnerabilities
September's Patch Tuesday also fixes vulnerabilities zero-day. One has been used in attacks. Microsoft classifies a vulnerability as a zero-day if it is publicly disclosed or actively exploited without an official patch available.
The zero-day vulnerability used in attacks and now fixed with Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday is tracked as "CVE-2022-37969 – Windows Common Log System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability".
"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges," Microsoft says.
This vulnerability was discovered by researchers at DBAPPSecurity, Mandiant, CrowdStrike, and Zscaler.
Mandiant told BleepingComputer that it discovered the zero-day during a proactive exploit hunting mission.

“We found this 0Day flaw during a proactive Offensive Task Force exploit hunting mission. An escalation of privilege (EOP) exploit was found for this vulnerability Common Log File System (CLFS),” explained Dhanesh Kizhakkinan, Senior Principal Vulnerability Engineer at Mandiant.
The exploit appears to be standalone and not part of a chain.
The other zero-day vulnerability that Microsoft fixed with the September Patch Tuesday is tracked as “CVE-2022-23960 – Arm: CVE-2022-23960 Cache Speculation Restriction Vulnerability.”
