Description

A denial of service vulnerability exists when a Network Policy Server (NPS) improperly handles a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authentication request. An unauthenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could send specially crafted username strings to a Network Policy Server (NPS) causing a denial of service condition for RADIUS authentication on the NPS.
