Microsoft fixed 126 different CVEs with this month's update (this includes the Chromium issues patched in Edge). Six of the issues were publicly disclosed, and nine are rated critical. 

Noteworthy updates:

CVE-2022-21907: This is a remote code execution vulnerability in http.sys. http.sys is part of anything in windows processing HTTP requests (e.g. IIS!). The vulnerability is exposed if the "Trailer" feature is enabled. HTTP trailers are used to delay sending headers until the end of the request (or response). They are typically used as part of chunked messages when the entire message is not known until the message has been sent. A "TE: trailers" header needs to be sent, and a "Trailer" header listing the delayed header names. This is potentially a wormable vulnerability, and Microsoft recommends prioritizing this patch. (this does not just affect IIS!). It appears that the Trailer feature is frequently enabled by default which makes this a BIG DEAL [!!! I initially assessed this as less of a risk. But a reader corrected me that the feature is enabled in server 2022, 20H2 core, and various Windows 10 and 11 versions. I misread the Microsoft announcement. This is not enabled by default in Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 version 1809).

CVE-2022-21846: Another critical remote code execution vulnerability in Exchange. But this vulnerability is not exploitable across the internet and requires the victim and the attacker to share the same network. 

CVE-2021-22947: This vulnerability in curl was originally disclosed in September, which is why it is noted as "Publicly Disclosed". This update fixes several vulnerabilities, not just the listed CVE.

We are seeing an issue on our Windows 2012R2 Domain Controllers going into a slow reboot loop after applying this month's patches.

By "slow" I mean they reboot after being up for a short time approx 15 to 20 minutes.

System Event Log shows lsass.exe crashing and triggering the reboot.

I've seen another report of this issue here https://borncity.com/win/2022/01/12/patchday-windows-8-1-server-2012-r2-updates-11-januar-2022-mgliche-boot-probleme/

Uninstalling all patches released today appears to have solved this.

Confusingly this issue only started to happen once we had updated all 3 DC's at one site. Removing the patches on 2 of the DC's has solved the problem, even with the still patched third server it has stopped rebooting itself like the now unpatched other two.

Sample Event Log entries:

Log Name: System
Source: User32
Event ID: 1074
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Description:
The process wininit.exe has initiated the restart of computer [name] on behalf of user for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found
Reason Code: 0x50006
Shutdown Type: restart
Comment: The system process 'C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819. The system will now shut down and restart.


Log Name: System
Source: Application Popup
Event ID: 26
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords:
User: SYSTEM
Description:
Application popup: lsass.exe - Application Error : The instruction at 0x820d2663 referenced memory at 0x00000058. The memory could not be read.

I have seen the same reboot issue although I only have 1 Windows 2021RC DC. Removing KB5009624 resolved the issue for me.

Well after 5 days of stability the server decided to crash twice due to the original issue that was reported. So looks like uninstalling the update was not a solution.

I have now installed all currently offered update from MS and will hopefully not have any additional crashes.
