Hi,
I’m currently in the process of upgrading some Win7 machines from .NET 4.5.2 to .NET 4.7.2 and I’m looking into what .NET security updates will be required following the installation.
The https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-framework-monthly-rollups-explained/ blog states
“ The Security and Quality Rollup will contain all of the past updates for .NET Framework 4.5.x and 4.6.x.”
and
“Security and Quality Rollups and Security-only Updates contain the same security fixes. If you install the Security and Quality Rollup for a given month, there is no need to install the Security only Update.”
The blog is a few years old so I’d like to confirm that these statements also apply to 4.7.2?
In which case, would I only need to install either the latest 4.7.2 rollup to be fully up-to-date as far as .NET security updates go? Similarly if I had to rollback the framework to 4.5.2 would I’d just need the latest 4.5.2 roll-up?
Currently we deploy packages containing multiple security only updates and roll ups but reading the blog has me thinking that the latest roll-up alone should be sufficient.
Thanks
Ps. Apologies if I used the wrong tag, I struggled to find obvious ones for this post.
