| Detailed Description |
The Security Update 889323 for Microsoft Windows XP SP1 has not been applied. Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop running on Windows XP SP1 could allow to a remote authenticated attacker to shutdown the affected system. The Remote Desktop does not check the 'Force shutdown from a remote system' user rights. A remote authenticated attacker could invoke the 'TSShutdn.exe' command to shutdown the remote system.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
