Microsoft Windows Kerberos Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows Kerberos Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is susceptible to a remote Kerberos denial of service vulnerability. By sending unspecified packets to the Kerberos service on TCP or UDP port 88, attackers may cause the affected service to crash.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to crash the affected authentication service, denying further domain authentication to legitimate users. It should be noted that exploitation requires that attackers have valid logon credentials.
