Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122)
Summary
Windows Remote Desktop Licensing Service Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This is a critical vulnerability with a CVSS base score of 9.8. It affects the Windows Remote Desktop Licensing Service and allows for remote code execution. The vulnerability is characterized by high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It can be exploited over the network, requires no user interaction, and needs no privileges for exploitation.
Impact
This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system remotely. Given the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, an attacker could potentially gain full control of the affected system, access sensitive information, modify or delete data, and disrupt system operations. The attack vector being network-based with no user interaction required makes this vulnerability particularly dangerous, as it could be exploited without user awareness.
Exploitation
There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
Patch
