May 14, 2019 - KB4499175 (Security-only update)
Applies to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Improvements and fixes
This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:
- Provides protections against a new subclass of speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities, known as Microarchitectural Data Sampling, for 64-Bit (x64) versions of Windows (CVE-2018-11091, CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130). Use the registry settings as described in the Windows Client and Windows Server articles. (These registry settings are enabled by default for Windows Client OS editions, but disabled by default for Windows Server OS editions).
- Addresses an issue that may prevent applications that rely on unconstrained delegation from authenticating after the Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) expires (the default is 10 hours).
- Security updates to Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows Storage and Filesystems, Windows Cryptography, Windows Wireless Networking, Windows Kernel, Windows Server, and the Microsoft JET Database.
For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the Security Update Guide.

How to get this update
Before installing this update
Microsoft strongly recommends you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest Rollup. SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the Rollup and applying Microsoft security fixes.
If you are using Windows Update, the latest SSU (KB4490628) will be offered to you automatically. To get the standalone package for the latest SSU, search for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog.

The Security-only updates aren't cumulative, you need to install every patch one after the other. Best to make a batch script to automate the task if you need to install many in one go.
If it's a clean install you can also slipstream the updates into the ISO, or use WSUSOffline with the "Use Security-only updates instead of monthly rollups" option ticked.
The monthly rollups are cumulative, so you only need the latest of those.
The IE updates are cumulative too, so again you only need the latest.
I don't bother slipstreaming the updates anymore. I just keep WSUSOffline up to date every few months.
If I do a clean install, I just run that after to get the Security-only updates installed, then do the optional updates I want later on.
It does add about an hour on to the install time, but I'm not that bothered, I just leave it running and go do something else instead of waiting.
I've kept backups of every Security-only update since the servicing model change, organised by year/month. Just in case I ever need any in future.
Once 7 is EOL next year, I'll probably create a final ISO with all updates included.
My only issue with Simplix is that I can't see any option of installing the Security-only updates. Only the latest rollups seem to be included in the list of updates.
WSUSOffline has the option of selecting whether you want the Rollups or the Security-only updates, so that's the one I've always stuck with.
Unless I'm missing something on the website, but I couldn't find any details regarding installing the Security-only updates.
