Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-016: Opening Group Policy Files for Exclusive Read Blocks Policy Application
Overview An attacker would likely exploit the vulnerability by first logging onto the domain normally, and then opening the Group Policy files with exclusive read access. She could then log onto the network a second time. Because the policy files would be locked, the second logon would occur without Group Policy being applied. The result would be that, although all previous Group Policy settings on the second machine would remain in force, any new policy settings would not be applied. The attacker’s second session would take place using what policy settings had most recently been applied.
