{"vuid":"VU#213119","idnumber":"213119","name":"Microsoft Windows Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) fails to properly validate Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) signature","keywords":["Windows","Kerberos","PAC","privilege escalation"],"overview":"Microsoft Windows Kerberos KDC contains a vulnerability allowing an authenticated unprivileged domain user to escalate privileges to a domain administrator account, allowing the user to compromise any computer on the domain.","clean_desc":"CWE-347: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature The Microsoft Windows Kerberos KDC fails to properly check for valid signatures in the Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) included with the Kerberos ticket request. A domain user may forge the information contained in the PAC to request higher user privileges than should be allowed. Since the KDC does not verify the signature correctly, it will award the user the requested privileges, effectively making the user a domain administrator and allowing complete compromise of the entire domain. The Microsoft Research Security and Defense Blog has a more technical description of the vulnerability.","impact":"An unprivileged domain user may escalate to domain administrator privileges, allowing the user to fully compromise any computer on the domain, including the domain controller.","resolution":"Apply an update Microsoft has released an update addressing this vulnerability.
