[English]Neben den im Blog-Beitrag FYI: Microsoft Security Update Releases vom 5. Januar 2018 erwähnten Änderungen hat Microsoft auch eine Microsoft Security Advisory Notification zum 5. Januar 2018 herausgegeben. Dieses Advisory betrifft Revisionen in Sicherheitsbeschreibungen im Zusammenhang mit der 'speculative execution side-channel'-Sicherheitslücke.

Anmerkung: Das Ganze betrifft im Wesentlichen Administratoren in Unternehmensumgebungen und dient zur Information. Aus diesem Grunde habe ich auf eine Übersetzung verzichtet.
