Microsoft Windows Vista through SP1 and Server 2008 do not properly import the default IPsec policy from a Windows Server 2003 domain to a Windows Server 2008 domain, which prevents IPsec rules from being enforced and allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can leave intended IPsec network access restrictions unenforced after a Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 domain policy import. The business risk is unauthorized network access where teams assumed IPsec rules were still protecting systems. Exposure is most likely in legacy Microsoft environments that migrated default IPsec policy from a Windows Server 2003 domain to a Windows Server 2008 domain and still rely on Vista or Server 2008 policy enforcement. Prioritize where legacy Windows domains still protect sensitive segments with IPsec. For modern environments without Vista, Server 2008, or the migration path, urgency is low but should be documented as retired exposure. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS08-047 guidance for applicable updates and workarounds.; Identify remaining Windows Vista SP1 or Server 2008 systems.; Review domains migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008..
