Microsoft usually stays with its Patch Tuesday cycle. The present update is a notable exception:
“…Redmond rarely releases security patches outside of Patch Tuesday, the second Tuesday of each month. The software giant isn’t providing many details yet, but the few times it has departed from its Patch Tuesday cycle it has always done so to stop the bleeding on a serious security hole that criminals were using to break into Windows PCs on a large scale.”

If Microsoft deems that this issue is serious enough to break its routine, then look to patch immediately. It may be a security vulnerability that requires prompt attention.
