| MS12-020 | Vulnerabilities in Remote Desktop Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2671387) | Windows XP | Critical | 14-03-2012 |
Technical Information
Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in the Remote Desktop Protocol. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends a sequence of specially crafted RDP packets to an affected system. By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is not enabled on any Windows operating system. Systems that do not have RDP enabled are not at risk.
Detailed Information on the risk:
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the way that the Remote Desktop Protocol service processes packets. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause the target service to stop responding.
