  2. We have a SP2013 Server farm which is using 2010 templates and features. Is it recommended to run this CU to patch the 2010 binaries which are included with SP2013 Server?

    1. Hi,
      there is a misunderstanding: there are no SP2010 binaries in SP2013. The SP2010 workflow is the workflow implemenation first shipped with SP2010. The SP2013 workflow is the workflow implementation first shipped with SP2013.
      That does not mean that there are any SP2010 binaries in SP2013 or in later SharePoint version.
      You only have to apply the sharepoint fixes for the sharepoint version you installed.
      Cheers,
      Stefan
