Microsoft issued a security bulletin which contained security advisory MS10-068. This security update resolves a vulnerability in Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS). The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if an authenticated attacker sent specially crafted Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) messages to a listening LSASS server. In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have a member account within the target Windows domain. However, the attacker does not need to have a workstation joined to the Windows domain. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0820 to this issue. A description of the vulnerability may be found at:

Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place; risk to Avaya's
product and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as the recommended
update is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period.
