Description

Microsft Windows contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to bypass the IPSEC filter by using port 88. The issue is due to the IPSEC filter having a default exemption to the Kerberos port(88). It is possible that the flaw may allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized network access resulting in a loss of integrity.

Location: Remote/Network Access Required
Attack Type: Misconfiguration
Impact: Loss of Integrity

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this issue. It is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround(s): Set registry key NoDefaultExempt=1 on all Windows 2000-based and Windows XP-based computers
