Remote Desktop Protocol Clients Rife with Remote Code-Execution Flaws
#1
Quote:Several flaws in both open-source RDP clients and in Microsoft’s own proprietary client make it possible for a malicious RDP server to infect a client computer – which could then allow for an intrusion into the IT network as a whole.

Multiple critical vulnerabilities in the commonly used Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) would allow a malicious actor to achieve remote code-execution over a client’s computer.

According to Check Point research released Tuesday at the CPX360 event in Las Vegas, both open-source and Microsoft proprietary RDP clients are at risk from an attacker who has either set up a malicious RDP server within a network, or who has compromised a legitimate one using other vulnerabilities.

Used by thousands upon thousands of enterprise users worldwide, RDP is a common application that allows those working remotely to connect to corporate resources; and, which allows tech support staff and researchers to connect to remote computers for diagnostic and support purposes.
