The March security updates have been released and consist of 64 CVE's and four security advisories in which 17 are rated Critical, 45 are rated Important, 1 is rated Moderate and 1 low in severity. Four are listed as publicly known and two are listed as being under active attack at the time of release.
In addition to a Servicing Stack Update (See the "Additional Update Notes" below for more information.), the updates apply to the following: Adobe Flash Player, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Office SharePoint, ChakraCore, Team Foundation Server, Skype for Business, Visual Studio, and NuGet.
Important: Windows 10, version 1709, will reach end of service on April 9, 2019 for devices running Windows 10 Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, and IoT Core editions. These devices will no longer receive monthly security and quality updates that contain protection from the latest security threats. To continue receiving security and quality updates, updating to the latest version of Windows 10 is strongly recommended. Note, however, that Windows 10 Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions will continue to receive servicing for 12 months at no cost per the lifecycle announcement on October 2018.
