  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure
    channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC). An attacker who
    successfully exploited the vulnerability could run a specially crafted application on a device on the
    network. To exploit the vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker would be required to use MS-NRPC to
    connect to a domain controller to obtain domain administrator access. Microsoft is addressing the
    vulnerability in a phased two-part rollout. These updates address the vulnerability by modifying how
    Netlogon handles the usage of Netlogon secure channels. For guidelines on how to manage the changes
    required for this vulnerability and more information on the phased rollout, see How to manage the changes
    in Netlogon secure channel connections associated with CVE-2020-1472 (updated September 28, 2020). When
    the second phase of Windows updates become available in Q1 2021, customers will be notified via a revision
    to this security vulnerability. If you wish to be notified when these updates are released, we recommend
    that you register for the security notifications mailer to be alerted of content changes to this advisory.
    See Microsoft Technical Security Notifications. (CVE-2020-1472)
