Revision Note: V2.0 (June 12, 2012): Bulletin rereleased to reoffer security update KB2667402 on all supported editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Customers using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, including those who have already successfully installed the update originally offered on March 13, 2012, should install the reoffered update. See the Update FAQ for details.
Summary: This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in the Remote Desktop Protocol. The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends a sequence of specially crafted RDP packets to an affected system. By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is not enabled on any Windows operating system. Systems that do not have RDP enabled are not at risk.Other versions
