APP: Microsoft Remote Desktop Client Heap Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client. A successful attack can lead to a heap overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
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.
