CVE-2012-0152: The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) service in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0152 is a denial-of-service flaw in Microsoft’s RDP service. A remote attacker could send crafted network traffic that causes the service or application to hang, disrupting remote administration and user sessions on affected Windows systems. Exposure is most likely where affected Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 systems have RDP enabled, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle does not identify other affected products. Treat this as a legacy Windows remote-access availability risk. It merits prompt remediation on exposed or critical systems, but the provided evidence does not support classifying it as actively exploited or code-execution impact. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS12-020 and apply applicable vendor security updates.; Restrict RDP access to trusted networks or VPN paths.; Disable RDP where it is not operationally required..
