MS17-002: Description of the security update for SharePoint Server 2016: January 10, 2017

This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file. To learn more about these vulnerabilities, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-002.

Note To apply this security update, you must have the release version of SharePoint Server 2016 installed on the computer.

For a complete list of affected versions of Microsoft Office software, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 3214291.

This public update delivers the first feature pack (Feature Pack 1) for SharePoint Server 2016 that contains the following features:

• Administrative Actions Logging
• MinRole enhancements
• SharePoint Custom Tiles
• Hybrid Auditing (preview)
• Hybrid Taxonomy
• OneDrive API for SharePoint on-premises
• OneDrive for Business modern experience (available to Software Assurance customers)

The OneDrive for Business modern user experience requires an active Software Assurance contract at the time that it is enabled, either by installation of the public update or by manual enablement. If you don't have an active Software Assurance contract at the time of enablement, you must turn the OneDrive for Business modern user experience off. See New features included in the November 2016 Public Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (Feature Pack 1) for more information.
