Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read condition in the rdpsnd_process_ping()function. A remote attacker can trick the victim who is using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client on a targeted system into connecting to an attacker-controlled RDP server, trigger segmentation fault (segfault) and access sensitive information on the targeted system.
