| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS09-066, 973309) for 'Vulnerability in Active Directory Could Allow Denial of Service' has not been applied.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in implementations of Active Directory on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008. The vulnerability also exists in implementations of Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) when installed on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) on Windows Server 2008. The vulnerability is due to stack space exhaustion during execution of certain types of LDAP or LDAPS requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the affected system to stop responding.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
