Microsoft never releases the full details of what they patch in case someone else is attempting to bypass the update. A DLL is nothing but a set of instructions and the update to the DLL or instructions to prevent injection via malicious code.
As for being standard? Yes, MS patches have two functions, to reduce the exploits/vulnerabilities and to help performance. MS releases their patches the second Tuesday of the month, followed 2 weeks later if an emergent mid-month patch is needed.
