Summary

Kerberos in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and Server 2003 SP2 supports weak hashing algorithms, which allows local users to gain privileges by operating a service that sends crafted service tickets, as demonstrated by the CRC32 algorithm, aka "Kerberos Unkeyed Checksum Vulnerability."

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

"The implementation of Kerberos on the remote Windows host is affected

  - Microsoft's Kerberos implementation uses a weak hashing
    mechanism, which can allow for certain aspects of a
    Kerberos service ticket to be forged. Note that this is
    not exploitable on domains where the domain controllers
    are running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008
    R2. (CVE-2011-0043)

  - An attacker can force a downgrade in Kerberos
    communication between a client and server to a weaker
    encryption standard than negotiated originally by means
    of a man-in-the-middle attack because Windows does not
    correctly enforce the stronger default encryption
    standards included in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
    R2. Note that this issue only affects implementations
    of Kerberos on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
