Description

The remote Windows host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to how the Group Policy service manages policy data when a domain-joined system connects to a domain controller. An attacker, using a controlled network, can exploit this to gain complete control of the host.

Note that Microsoft has no plans to release an update for Windows 2003 even though it is affected by this vulnerability.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, and 2012 R2.
