Microsoft Server Patch Alert - Kerberos Vulnerability

Microsoft has issued a critical Windows Server update and is urging users to immediately patch domain controllers for a new Windows Kerberos elevation of privilege vulnerability. The bug could allow an attacker to elevate an unprivileged domain user account to a domain administrator permission level, and ultimately take control of domain controllers or other servers in the server domain. The bug in the Kerberos Key Distribution Center affects Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.

An off-schedule patch has been released by Microsoft to deal with this vulnerability.  Clients who have ACT Managed Services protection are being patched off-schedule to deal with this event.  If you use other patch management methods, we strongly recommend that you take the needed steps to insure your server(s) are updated as quickly as possible.
