The product group released the November 2019 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2013 product family.
For November 2019 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 2019 CU includes all fixes from November 2019 PU.
ATTENTION:
Be aware that all Updates for SharePoint 2013 require SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 to be installed first.
Please also have a look at the article that discusses how to properly patch a SharePoint 2013 farm which has Search enabled (see below).
Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Because of the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into several separate downloads. One contains the executable file, while the others contain the CAB file. All are necessary and must be placed in the same folder to successfully install the update. All are available by clicking the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.
This CU includes all SharePoint 2013 fixes (including all SharePoint 2013 security fixes) released since SP1. The CU does not include SP1. You need to install SP1 before installing this CU.
The KB articles for November 2019 CU should be available at the following locations in a couple of hours:
- KB 4484153 – SharePoint Foundation 2013 November 2019 CU
- KB 4484155 – SharePoint Server 2013 November 2019 CU
- KB 4484154 – Project Server 2013 November 2019 CU
- There was no fix released for Office Web Apps Server 2013 this month
The Full Server Packages for November 2019 CU are available through the following links:
- Download SharePoint Foundation 2013 November 2019 CU
- Download SharePoint Server 2013 November 2019 CU
- Download Project Server 2013 November 2019 CU
- There was no fix released for Office Web Apps Server 2013 this month
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct Options.
Be aware that the SharePoint Server 2013 CU contains the SharePoint Foundation 2013 CU. And the Project Server 2013 CU also contains the SharePoint Server 2013 CU and SharePoint Foundation 2013 CU.

Hi Stefan, we already installed the november CU on our SP 20131 Foundation farm. our Security team tell us to install KB4484099 since it appear on tenable scan. We already patched all servers in the farm but it does not appear on windows update as KB4484099 instead it appear as KB4484153. Any idea since the vulnerability is still showing in the tenable scan?

Hi Diego,
seems the scanner does not properly detect if a newer fix has been installed which includes the security fix.
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the update. Currently production Farm is April 2019 CU and Test Farm August 2019 CU.

Between April and November are several changes and there were also some regressions introduced which are not yet fixed.
In addition regressions are often reported several months after a fix was released. So it is impossible to give a definite answer here.
For this reason we recommend to verify the each CU in a test environment which resembles the production environment and test your specific scenarios before applying them on production.

Hi Qasim,
if you are installing the Uber package linked in my blog: of course.
SharePoint fixes are cumulative and the Uber package includes the latest version of all packages.
Cheers,
Stefan
