December 2010 CU for SharePoint 2007 and 2010 has been released on Friday

Stefan Goßner Posted in his blog this important article about December updates for both MOSS 2007 & SharePoint 2010

Yesterday the product group released the December 2010 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2007 and 2010 product family.

The KB articles are not yet available (as usual it will take a couple more days to get these through the required release process) but the fixes can already be downloaded.

As soon as the KB articles are live they can be found at the following locations:

• KB 2458606 - WSS 3.0
• KB 2458605 - MOSS 2007
• KB 2459125 - SharePoint Foundation 2010
• KB 2459257 - SharePoint Server 2010
• KB 2459258 - SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server
  As you see there is a separate Full Server Package for SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server which simplifies patching of this common installation.

The Full Server Packages for December 2010 CU can be downloaded here:

• Download WSS 3.0 December 2010 CU
• Download MOSS 2007 December 2010 CU
• Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 December 2010 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 December 2010 CU
• Download SharePoint Server 2010 with Project Server December 2010 CU
  After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.

For the 2010 Server Products it is sufficient to install the SharePoint Server 2010 package as it includes the SharePoint Foundation package.
