Revision Note: V3.0 (May 9, 2017): Microsoft has re-released security update 4017018 for affected editions of Windows Server 2008. The re-release has been re-classified as a security update. Microsoft recommends that customers should install update 4017018 to be fully protected from CVE-2017-0038. Customers who have already installed the update do not need to take any further action. In addition, this security update correction also applies to Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems.

Summary: This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Skype for Business, Silverlight and Microsoft Lync. The most serious of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user either visits a specially crafted website or opens a specially crafted document. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
