DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

A domain controller (Active Directory) uses the Kerberos protocol.

According to the Kerberos protocol, when a user wants to
authenticate on a computer, it asks a TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket)
to the KDC (AD) server. The user has to use a valid password to
decrypt this TGT, which is for example valid during 8 hours. The
computer can then ask the KDC to renew the TGT.

However, if the renewal query is malformed, and is sent to a
server configured in mixed mode, an error occurs and stops the
system.

An authenticated attacker can therefore generate a denial of
service on the domain controller.
