Answer 1

Azure VMSS is a massive Azure cloud service that allows administrators to manage and monitor their Azure VM instances. Recently, Microsoft released a new Azure VMSS update introducing some security vulnerabilities. If attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities, they could control an affected AzureVM instance completely. To protect your AzureVM instance from attack, you should patch it as soon as possible.

Answer 2

The general (and preferred) view for Virtual Machine Scale sets is to update the image every month and then push out the image update to the VMSS.

If you need to, you can add the VM scale set servers to Azure Update Management and patch them; just make sure they are on different schedules, to install.
