Microsoft Windows Active Directory LDAP Request Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows Active Directory LDAP Request Validation Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because Microsoft Active Directory fails to handle specially crafted user-supplied Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) requests.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
