Stack-based buffer overflow in Remote Desktop Client allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) enables remote code execution on unpatched Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2012/2016 systems. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) confirms the attack is network-delivered and requires no attacker privileges, but demands that a victim actively connect to an attacker-controlled RDP server - a meaningful but achievable social-engineering hurdle. …
