A new cumulative update for SharePoint Server 2016 has been released (August 2021 CU).
This CU includes both Feature Pack 2, which has been included since the September CU (September 2017 CU), and the previous Feature Pack 1.

SP Build:
16.0.5200.1000 (Language independent CU)

SharePoint 2016 CU – KB articles describing the CU:

  • KB 5002002 – August 2021 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language independent)
  • This CU does not include an update to language-dependent components for SharePoint Server 2016 (the most recent language-dependent component update is KB 5001981)

SharePoint Server 2016 CU – CU download link:

After installation, remember to run the SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard (SharePoint 2016 Products Configuration Wizard), or the following command:

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install

Notice

Feature Pack 2 also includes all functionality from Feature Pack 1.

Always install both packages in this order:

  1. language independent (updates language-independent components)
  2. language dependent (updates language-dependent components)

For language-dependent packages, it does not matter which language you select, as each package contains updates for all languages.

If you install a new language pack on your SharePoint Server 2016 farm, you must then reinstall the language-dependent update package.

Remember that Distributed Cache must also be updated alongside SharePoint; see How to update Distributed Cache correctly and for Office Online Server, you must have the current RTM release; see  How to update Office Online Server.

Included fixes and improvements

The fixes and improvements listed for this CU are excerpts from official Microsoft KB articles in their original language (EN).

SharePoint Server 2016

This security update contains fixes for the following nonsecurity issues in SharePoint Server 2016:

  • In certain repetitive scenarios, the relevant worker process displays an increasing memory consumption pattern that’s eventually followed by process termination. This update fixes this issue by ensuring a standard memory consumption pattern.
  • After you install the May 2021 security updates for SharePoint Server, you can’t share documents with other users because the user can’t be identified by the given user information.
  • User code is blocked when third-party assemblies access sensitive properties. After you apply this update, you can follow the steps that are provided in KB5004581 to add the third-party assemblies to the assembly list for accessing the sensitive properties in the Web.config file.
