According to MacRumors, the update is set to be the "improvement for stability, compatibility, and security for Mac". This was from the release note from Apple about what macOS Sierra 10.12.5 could offer to all Mac users.

However, 9toMac concluded that since there was no version number and lack of information, macOS Sierra 10.12.5 could be just a minor update.
