Today we will be patching our Windows Hosting servers with Microsoft Update MS-017 (Vulnerabilities in GDI Could Allow Remote Code Execution (925902)). This patch was released 1 week prior to the regularly scheduled monthly update due to the number of exploits that occurred over the past weekend. It is highly recommended that all affected servers be patched ASAP.

This patch will require a reboot of the updated servers. We expect no more than 5 minutes downtime per server.
