 - Title: Guidance to mitigate speculative execution side-channel
   vulnerabilities
 - https:https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/
   advisory/ADV180002
 - Reason for Revision: The following updates have been made:  Revised
   the Affected Products table to include Windows 10 Version 1709 for
   x64-based Systems because the update provides mitigations for
   ADV180002. Corrected the security update numbers for the 2016 and
   2017 SQL Server Cumulative Updates. Removed Windows Server 2012 and
   Windows Server 2012 (Server Core installation) from the Affected
   Products table because there are no mitigations available for
   ADV180002 for these products. Revised the Affected Products table
   to include Monthly Rollup updates for Windows 7 and Windows Server
   2008 R2. Customers who install monthly rollups should install these
   updates to receive the mitigations against the vulnerabilities
   discussed in this advisory. In the Recommended Actions section,
   added information for Surface customers. Added an FAQ to explain
   why Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012 will not receive
   mitigations for these vulnerabilities. Added an FAQ to explain
   the protection against these vulnerabilties for customers using
   x86 architecture.
