DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a validation error when processing
encapsulated packets sent to the VMBus communication channel. This can
be exploited to cause the Hyper-V server and all guest virtual
machines to stop responding via a specially crafted packet.

Successful exploitation requires an attacker to have local logon
privileges within a guest virtual machine.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
