Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS11-086, 2630837) for 'Vulnerability in Active Directory Could Allow Elevation of Privilege' has not been applied. This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS). The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if Active Directory is configured to use LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) and an attacker acquires a revoked certificate that is associated with a valid domain account and then uses that revoked certificate to authenticate to the Active Directory domain. By default, Active Directory is not configured to use LDAP over SSL. The security update addresses the vulnerability by changing the way that Active Directory verifies certificates against the Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
* 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.
