Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (formerly Terminal Services Client) running RDP 5.0 through 6.1 on Windows, and Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified parameters, aka "Remote Desktop Connection Heap Overflow Vulnerability."
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
