Technical details
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in Windows Remote Desktop Services that can be exploited by an authorized attacker over the network. The vulnerability allows an authenticated remote attacker to trigger a heap memory corruption condition, leading to code execution in the context of the RDS service. The attack requires an attacker to have valid credentials and network connectivity to an RDS endpoint. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the RDS service, typically SYSTEM-level access. Patches are available from Microsoft.
