Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in planar_decompress_plane_rle() in the PLANAR RLE decode path when processing a crafted RDP planar bitmap in the temp-buffer path. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted RDP server response to execute arbitrary code.
User interaction is required because the victim must connect to a malicious RDP server.
