APP: MS Server Kerberos Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Windows Active Directory. Attackers can craft a domain authentication requests containing invalid Kerberos information. A successful attack can trigger a denial of service against Active Directory servers.
Extended Description
Microsoft Windows is susceptible to a remote Kerberos denial of service vulnerability. By sending unspecified packets to the Kerberos service on TCP or UDP port 88, attackers may cause the affected service to crash. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to crash the affected authentication service, denying further domain authentication to legitimate users. It should be noted that exploitation requires that attackers have valid logon credentials.
