Microsoft Windows XP Professional Remote Desktop Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The Microsoft Windows XP Professional Remote Desktop implementation is prone to a denial of service.

It is possible for a malicious client to trigger this condition by sending a maliciously crafted packet to the vulnerable host during the negotiation of client/server graphics capabilities. Clients may specify drawing commands based on what is supported. If the Pattern BLT command is specified in a packet, Microsoft Windows XP Professional will crash when it tries to render the pattern.

This issue also exists in Microsoft Windows .NET Standard Server Beta 3.
