Protection Engine dated 12/06/2017

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple flaws exist when the Microsoft
Malware Protection Engine does not properly scan a specially crafted file,
leading to memory corruption.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow an
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
code in the security context of the LocalSystem account and take control of
the system. An attacker could then:

- install programs

- view, change, or delete data

- create new accounts with full user rights.

Affected Software/OS:
- Microsoft Windows Defender on Microsoft Windows 8.1

- Microsoft Windows 7 SP1

- Microsoft Windows 10 x32/x64

Solution:
Run the Windows Update to update the malware
protection engine to the latest version available. Typically, no action is

of updates will apply the update itself.
