In addition to the
usual slew of patches Microsoft dropped this week, the company on Tuesday also addressed an issue in its hypervisor, Hyper-V, that could lead to a denial of service condition.
Microsoft warned about the issue in
an advisory separate from its usual Patch Tuesday bulletins.
The native hypervisor can be used to run virtual machines on Windows Server 2008 and some versions of Windows 8, and also be downloaded and installed as a standalone entity. Microsoft is warning users who run it on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and x64-based versions of Windows 10 that they are at risk.
