Microsoft Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution

• Someone1234 11y ago
  Just to be clear, it is the DNS Server, not the DNS client. So normal Windows client operating systems are not impacted. It is still a serious exploit, but with much less wider reaching effects.

    Less wide effects – nobody's turning it into a worm – but potentially much deeper. This seems like a great way to escalate from a compromised desktop to taking over someone's Active Directory infrastructure, which can take months to clean up.
