KB3138612 'contains some improvements to Windows Update Client in Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1' that replaces a patch distributed back in October 2015 and since it's offered for Server as well, it is unlikely to have W10-specific "threats" therein.
I installed it some days ago to no ill effect whatsoever on either of my Windows 7 systems but, I did notice that my Windows Update has speeded up slightly with regards to checking and downloading on both devices.
I also updated the IE11 cumulative security update which apparently has some 'internal patch' to display a W10 banner, but only works with KB3123862 installed.
KB3123862 isn't installed on any of my systems, which is very clearly a Win10 telemetry item, so don't see any new banners in IE11 after testing.
Primarily I use Firefox so, IE11 doesn't get used unless absolutely necessary on some websites.

Just remembered, as I don't use IE11 unless absolutely necessary, when I'm not using/need it,
I have my 3rd party firewall/ internet security suite configured to block IE11 connections to the internet that does not affect Windows Update in any way.
