Technical details
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Windows Remote Desktop Services, where a freed memory region is accessed after deallocation. The vulnerability requires the attacker to be an authenticated RDS user with valid credentials, and network reachability to the RDS endpoint. An authorized attacker can exploit this flaw to achieve remote code execution (RCE) over the network, gaining the privileges of the RDS service or the logged-in user. Microsoft has released security updates to remediate this issue.
