For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 7 Gold, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows 8, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows Server 2012, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. For Microsoft Windows RT, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of SSLv3 protocol until a patch is available.
