Description:Summary:
This host is missing an important security
update according to Microsoft Security Updates released for Microsoft Malware
Protection Engine dated 05-25-2017

- Multiple errors when the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine does not properly
scan a specially crafted file, leading to a scan timeout.

- Multiple errors when the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine does not properly scan a
specially crafted file, leading to memory corruption.

Vulnerability Impact:

preventing the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine from monitoring affected
systems until the service is restarted.

- Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1607 x32/x64

- Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1703 x32/x64

Solution:
Run the Windows Update to update the malware
protection engine to the latest version available. Typically, no action is
required as the built-in mechanism for the automatic detection and deployment
of updates will apply the update itself.
