Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Components Multiple Vulnerabilities (3170005) This host is missing a critical security update according to Microsoft Bulletin MS16-087. Multiple flaws exist due to the Windows Print Spooler service improperly allowing arbitrary writing to the file system, and an improper validation of print drivers while installing a printer from servers. Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and take control of an affected system. The affected systems include Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012/2012R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10, and Windows 10 Version 1511
