CVE-2017-0191
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the way that Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016 handles objects in memory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
