The version of Active Directory installed on the remote host fails to properly validate service principal names (SPN), which could result in SPN collisions. If a collision occurs, services that use the SPN will downgrade to NTLM when configured to do so. Services that are not configured to negotiate will become unavailable.
A remote attacker who has local administrator privileges on a domain- joined host can exploit this, resulting in a denial of service.
