Revision Note: V1.5 (May 4, 2011): Corrected the bulletin replacement information for Remote Desktop Connection 5.2 Client on supported editions of Windows XP Service Pack 3. This is a bulletin change only. There were no changes to the detection or security update files.
Summary: This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop Client. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate Remote Desktop configuration (.rdp) file located in the same network folder as a specially crafted library file. For an attack to be successful, a user must visit an untrusted remote file system location or WebDAV share and open a document from this location that is then loaded by a vulnerable application.
