Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-0002 is a remote code execution flaw in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. An attacker could send crafted RDP packets and make an affected Windows system run arbitrary code. Business urgency depends on whether legacy Windows systems with RDP enabled remain in use or reachable. Exposure is most likely on legacy Microsoft Windows systems listed in the CVE: XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, and Windows 7, especially where RDP is enabled or reachable across networks. Treat this as urgent wherever legacy Windows and RDP still exist. The business risk is remote takeover of exposed systems, but urgency falls sharply if affected platforms are retired, patched, or tightly isolated. Mitigation focus: Review and apply Microsoft MS12-020 guidance for affected systems.; Remove or isolate unsupported affected Windows systems from production networks.; Disable RDP where it is not operationally required..
