VERY IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR WIN7 & SERVER 2008R2*:

These vulnerabilities, according to CERT and security analysts do NOT affect other versions of Windows.

>From ZDNET 3/28/18 - Liam Tung - See full article here<http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-7-meltdown-patch-opens-worse-vulnerability-install-march-updates-now/?bhid=22309124605322785638118893096057&ftag=TRE7ce1dc9>

Microsoft's early patches for Intel's Meltdown CPU vulnerability created an even bigger problem in Windows 7 that allowed any unprivileged application to read kernel memory.

Microsoft's January and February patches stopped the Meltdown bug that exposed passwords in protected memory, but security researcher Ulf Frisk has discovered that the patches introduced a far worse kernel bug, which allows any process to read and write anywhere in kernel memory.

Frisk says the vulnerability affects Windows 7 x64 and Windows 2008R2 with the January or February patches.

* Server updates should be rolled out AFTER they have been in the field for a few days at least.  Make sure the "bugs" (if there are any) are NOT your "bugs"
