DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error within Remote Desktop Services when handling certain
objects can be exploited to access an uninitialised or deleted object
via specially crafted RDP packets.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows execution of
arbitrary code.

2) An error within the Terminal Server when processing certain RDP
packets can be exploited to cause the service to stop responding.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires that Remote
Desktop is enabled (disabled by default).

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
