The product group released the November 2015 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2010 product family.
For November 2015 CU we have full server packages (also known as Uber packages). No other CU is required to fully patch SharePoint.
As this is a common question: Yes, November 2015 CU includes all SharePoint security fixes released with November 2015 PU.
Be aware that CU is a Post-SP2 hotfix. It is required to have SP2 installed before installing the CU.
It is required to have SP2 installed for the base product and all installed language packs to install November 2015 CU for SharePoint 2010.
This CU includes all SharePoint 2010 fixes (including all SharePoint 2010 security fixes) released since SP2. The CU does not include SP2.
The KB articles for November CU should be available at the following locations in a couple of hours:
- KB 3101547 – SharePoint Foundation 2010
- KB 3101534 – SharePoint Server 2010
- KB 3101530 – Project Server 2010
The Full Server Packages for November 2015 CU are already available through the following links:
- Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 November 2015 CU
- Download SharePoint Server 2010 November 2015 CU
- Download Project Server 2010 November 2015 CU
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.
Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2010 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation CU.
That means only one package has to be installed for the SharePoint 2010 product family.

Hi Stefan,
the farm update wizard failed with:
“Exception: System.IO.InvalidDataException: The web configuration file, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\config\WEBCONFIG.ACCSRV.XML, does not have element “configuration/configSections/sectionGroup[@name=’SharePoint’]” or it is invalid.”
DEV environment, updated from a fully patched Project Server 2010 CU October 2015-10.
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I would recommend to open a support case to get this analyzed.
