The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) has published information on several recently publicized exploit tools 
which affect various Microsoft products.

Users and administrators are reminded that software no longer supported by Microsoft (also known as end-of-life (EOL) 
software) is particularly at risk for exploitation. US-CERT recommends retiring EOL products. For more information on 
EOL Microsoft products, see US-CERT AlertsTA14-310A [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-310A ] and TA14-069A [ 
https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-069A-0 ], and the previous US-CERT Current Activity on Windows Vista [ 
http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2017/03/17/Microsoft-Ending-Support-Windows-Vista ].

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review theMSRC post [ 
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msrc/2017/04/14/protecting-customers-and-evaluating-risk/ ] and apply any necessary 
updates.
