Descriptions
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) implementation in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, and Windows 7 Gold and SP1 does not properly process packets in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted RDP packets triggering access to an object that (1) was not properly initialized or (2) is deleted, aka "Remote Desktop Protocol Vulnerability."
La aplicación Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) de Microsoft Windows XP SP2 y SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, R2 y R2 SP1, y Windows 7 Gold y SP1 no procesa correctamente los paquetes en la memoria, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario mediante el envío de paquetes RDP modificados que provocan acceso a un objeto que (1) no se ha inicializado correctamente o (2) se suprime, también conocido como "Remote Desktop Protocol Vulnerability."
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists during handling of an error while loading elements into an array. This condition can cause the driver to abort a connection and part of the logic of the abort is to free an object associated with it. This will actually occur twice when each of channels are disconnected. The second time this object is freed, the driver will fetch a virtual pointer from the freed object and call it. This can lead to code execution under the context of the driver.
