Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-8696 is a Microsoft Graphics Component remote code execution issue involving Windows Uniscribe. A user could be affected by opening a specially crafted document or email attachment, or by visiting a specially crafted website. The source bundle lists older Windows, Office, Skype for Business, Lync, and Live Meeting components. Exposure is most likely where the listed Microsoft versions are still present: Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Office 2007/2010, Word Viewer, Office for Mac, Skype for Business, Lync, or Live Meeting components. Prioritize this for any environment still running the listed Microsoft products, especially systems that process email, documents, or web content. Business urgency depends on whether those versions remain deployed. Mitigation focus: Review the MSRC advisory for product-specific security update guidance.; Inventory endpoints and servers for the exact Microsoft products listed.; Prioritize remediation for systems handling email, documents, or web browsing..
