| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS14-074, 3003743) for 'Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol Could Allow Security Feature Bypass' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow security feature bypass when Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) fails to properly log audit events. By default, RDP is not enabled on any Windows operating system. Systems that do not have RDP enabled are not at risk.
- Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Failure to Audit Vulnerability (CVE-2014-6318)
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) when RDP does not properly log failed logon attempts. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to bypass the audit logon security feature. The security feature bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However an attacker could use this bypass vulnerability in conjunction with another vulnerability. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way Remote Desktop Protocol handles authentication and logging.
* 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.
