(MS11-013) Vulnerabilities in Kerberos Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2496930)
Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2011-0043,CVE-2011-0091
Advisory Date: FEB 10, 2011
DESCRIPTION
This security update addresses vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows with the more severe ones capable of allowing elevation of privilege if a local, authenticated attacker installs a malicious service on a domain-joined computer. More specifically, this update addresses the vulnerabilities by preventing the use of weak hashing algorithms in both Windows Kerberos and Windows KDC and by preventing the client from downgrading the encryption standard to DES for Kerberos communication between client and server.
Note for affected users: *Server Core installation affected. This update applies, with the same severity rating, to supported editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 as indicated, whether or not installed using the Server Core installation option.
