CVE-2017-0164
A denial of service vulnerability exists in Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016 Active Directory when an authenticated attacker sends malicious search queries, aka "Active Directory Denial of Service Vulnerability."
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
