DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in Remote Desktop Client allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client arises from a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) that an unauthenticated network attacker can trigger when a victim connects to or interacts with a malicious server. Microsoft (secure@microsoft.com) is the originating reporter and has published an advisory in the MSRC update guide, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 7.5 (High) rating reflects high attack complexity and required user interaction, but successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the client host.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client, the Windows-side component that speaks the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to RDP servers. CWE-122 (Heap-Based Buffer Overflow) indicates that during parsing or handling of attacker-influenced data - typically a server-supplied RDP message, virtual channel payload, or graphics/clipboard structure - the client writes past the bounds of a heap allocation. Such corruption of heap metadata or adjacent objects is the classic primitive used to hijack control flow and achieve arbitrary code execution in the client process context. Specific affected component (mstsc.exe, Remote Desktop app, or a parser DLL) and exact build numbers are not disclosed in the provided data and must be obtained from the MSRC advisory; no CPE strings were supplied.

RemediationAI

Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2026-44799 as listed in the MSRC update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-44799; patch available per vendor advisory, but a specific fixed build is not included in the provided data and must be read from that advisory and the associated monthly cumulative update for each affected Windows release. As compensating controls until patching completes, instruct users not to initiate RDP sessions to untrusted or unsolicited hosts, block outbound TCP/UDP 3389 (and any custom RDP gateway ports) at the perimeter except to known-good destinations to prevent connections to attacker-controlled servers, and disable or restrict high-risk RDP virtual channels such as clipboard, drive, and device redirection via Group Policy (Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Remote Desktop Services → Remote Desktop Connection Client) - accepting that this breaks copy/paste and local-resource sharing for legitimate sessions. Routing RDP through a hardened Remote Desktop Gateway limits which servers clients can reach but does not itself stop the parsing bug if the gateway forwards a malicious server response.
