(MS11-017) Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Client Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2508062)
Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2011-0029
Advisory Date: MAY 18, 2011
DESCRIPTION
This update resolves a vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop Client, which could allow remote code execution. The exploit works if a user opens a legitimate Remote Desktop configuration (.rdp) file located in the same network folder as a specially crafted library file. However, for an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open a document from this location that is then loaded by a vulnerable application. More specifically, this update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the manner in which the Windows Remote Desktop Client loads external libraries.
