Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in the NeutrinoRDP channel reassembly logic when processing reassembled fragmented virtual channel data while proxying RDP sessions to another server. A remote attacker can send specially crafted RDP channel data from a downstream server position to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
The issue only affects environments where the NeutrinoRDP module has been explicitly compiled and enabled, and exploitation requires a malicious downstream RDP server or a man-in-the-middle position.
