DOS: Windows XP RDP Denial of Service

Microsoft RDP Server shipped with Windows XP is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. This attack does not require that the client be authenticated with the RDP server because the attack happens in the negotiation before the drawing of the login screen. This vulnerability is present in Microsoft RDP 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1. It affects Windows XP and Windows .NET Standard Server Beta 3.

Extended Description

The Remote Data Protocol (RDP) version 5.1 in Microsoft Windows XP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) when Remote Desktop is enabled via a PDU Confirm Active data packet that does not set the Pattern BLT command, aka "Denial of Service in Remote Desktop."
