Additional Information

This update is delivering the same fix as the MS16-006 Microsoft Security Update for Silverlight. Microsoft states "This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Silverlight. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a compromised website that contains a specially crafted Silverlight application. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a compromised website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or instant message that takes users to the attacker's website."

You can obtain more information from Microsoft's KB: MS16-006: Security update for Silverlight to address remote code execution: January 12, 2016.
