Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability when processing certain parameters returned by a malicious RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server.

Successfully exploiting this issue would allow an attacker to corrupt heap memory and execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
