This host is missing an important security update according to Microsoft KB3217841. The flaw exists when Microsoft Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly validate input from a privileged user on a guest operating system. Successful exploitation will allow an attacker with a privileged account on a guest operating system to run a specially crafted application that causes a host machine to crash
