Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows 2000 versions prior to Update Rollup 1 for SP4

Description The issue concerns the LDAP client accepting certificates using LDAPS even when the Certificate Authority (CA) is not trusted. This could allow attackers to trick users into believing they are accessing a trusted site.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows 2000 versions prior to Update Rollup 1 for SP4, apply Update Rollup 1 for SP4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of LDAPS connections to trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) until the update is applied.
