---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia integrated with Microsoft WSUS http://secunia.com/blog/71/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Microsoft Windows Kerberos Ticket Renewal Request Denial of Service SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA38512 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/38512/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the Kerberos implementation when handling ticket renewal requests coming from a non-Windows Kerberos domain. This can be exploited to cause a Windows domain controller to stop responding via a specially crafted renewal request for an existing Ticket-Granting-Ticket (TGT). NOTE: This vulnerability only affects domain controllers that have a mixed-mode Kerberos realm defined. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
