Secure Boot Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists when Windows Secure Boot improperly applies an affected policy. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could disable code integrity checks, allowing test-signed executables and drivers to be loaded on a target device. In addition, an attacker could bypass the Secure Boot Integrity Validation for BitLocker and the Device Encryption security features.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must either gain administrative privileges or physical access to a target device to install an affected policy.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by blacklisting affected policies.
Меры по смягчению последствий
The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation: To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must have either administrative privileges or physical access to the target device.
Обходное решение
Configure BitLocker to use Trusted Platform Module (TPM)+PIN protection To enable TPM and PIN protector, enable the enhanced protection group policy as follows:
- Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
- Under Local Computer Policy, navigate to Administrative Templates>Windows Components>BitLocker Drive Encryption>Operating Systems Drives.
- In the right-hand pane, double-click Require additional authentication at startup.
- In the dialog box that appears, click Enabled.
- Under Options, select Require TPM and Require startup PIN with TPM.
- Click Apply and exit the Local Group Policy Editor.
- Open the command prompt with Administrator privileges.
- Enter the following command:
manage-bde -protectors -add c: <OR OS volume letter> -tpmandpin
- When prompted for a PIN, enter a 4 or 6-digit PIN.
- Restart the system.
Impact of workaround. The user will be required to enter the PIN every time the computer restarts.
How to undo the workaround

FAQ
I am running Windows Server 2012. Do I need to install the 3170377 and 3172727 updates in a particular order? No. The 3170377 and 3172727 updates both contain the same components and can be installed in any order. Installing one and then the other without a system restart in between is allowed; however, if you install the 3172727 update first and then restart the system, subsequent attempts to install the 3170377 update will display the message, “The update is not applicable to your computer." This is because the 3172727 update supersedes the 3170377 update by design.
