TITLE:
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Two Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36229

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36229/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows and
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An error exists in the Remote Desktop Connection (RDP)
implementation when processing server responses. This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user
into connecting to a malicious RDP server.

2) An error in the Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX control can
be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user
into visiting a malicious website.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
