| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS12-053, 2723135) for 'Vulnerabilities in Remote Desktop Could Allow Remote Code Execution' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Protocol. The vulnerability is caused when the Remote Desktop Protocol processes a sequence of specially crafted packets, resulting in the access of an object in memory that has been deleted. For that reason, a remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a sequence of specially crafted RDP packets to the target system.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
