<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">Yesterday, November 18, Microsoft released update MS14-068 to address CVE-2014-6324, a Windows Kerberos implementation elevation of privilege vulnerability that is being exploited in-the-wild in limited, targeted
attacks.</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Kerberos KDC that could allow an attacker to elevate unprivileged domain user account privileges to those of the domain administrator
account. An attacker could use these elevated privileges to compromise any computer in the domain, including domain controllers. An attacker must have valid domain credentials to exploit this vulnerability. </font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">The affected component is available remotely to users who have standard user accounts with domain credentials; this is not the case for users with local account credentials only. When this security bulletin was
issued, Microsoft was aware of limited, targeted attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Avenir-Book" class="">The update is rated Critical for all supported editions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2. The update is also being provided on
a defense-in-depth basis for all supported editions of </font><span style="font-family: Avenir-Book;" class="">Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.</span></div>
