Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of the Secure Channel (SChannel) security package that is affected by a denial of service vulnerability. This flaw exists in the way that SChannel processes client certificates.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted network packet to the host that would cause the LSASS service to stop responding and the system to restart.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7, and 2008 R2.
