Summary

This update resolves vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Framework. A security vulnerability exists in the .NET Framework that could allow an attacker to access information at rest that should be defended by cryptographic mechanisms. This update fixes the way that the Framework handles the key and therefore defends the data. To learn more about this vulnerability, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS16-155.

Important

  • All future security and nonsecurity updates for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 require update 2919355 to be installed. We recommend that you install update 2919355 on your Windows RT 8.1-based, Windows 8.1-based, or Windows Server 2012 R2-based computer so that you receive future updates.

  • If you install a language pack after you install this update, you must reinstall this update. Therefore, we recommend that you install any language packs that you need before you install this update. For more information, see Add language packs to Windows.
