DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

Services when processing certain RDP packets. This can be exploited
to restart the system by sending a sequence of specially crafted RDP
packets.
Successful exploitation requires that Remote Desktop for
Administration is enabled (disabled by default).
