Security Advisories Released or Updated Today
==============================================

* Microsoft Security Advisory ADV180002

 - Title: Guidance to mitigate speculative execution side-channel
   vulnerabilities
 - https:https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/
   advisory/ADV180002
 - Reason for Revision: The following updates have been made:  Revised
   the Affected Products table to include Windows 10 Version 1709 for 
   x64-based Systems because the update provides mitigations for 
   ADV180002. Corrected the security update numbers for the 2016 and
   2017 SQL Server Cumulative Updates. Removed Windows Server 2012 and
   Windows Server 2012 (Server Core installation) from the Affected 
   Products table because there are no mitigations available for 
   ADV180002 for these products. Revised the Affected Products table 
   to include Monthly Rollup updates for Windows 7 and Windows Server 
   2008 R2. Customers who install monthly rollups should install these 
   updates to receive the mitigations against the vulnerabilities 
   discussed in this advisory. In the Recommended Actions section, 
   added information for Surface customers. Added an FAQ to explain
   why Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012 will not receive 
   mitigations for these vulnerabilities. Added an FAQ to explain 
   the protection against these vulnerabilties for customers using
   x86 architecture.
