Critical Microsoft Patch for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

If your desktop computer is configured to allow RDP connections for remote access, we recommend you apply the most recent patches from Microsoft to fix a recently-discovered vulnerability that could allow a malicious attacker to fully compromise your machine. Should your machine be compromised, it will need to be rebuilt from a known-clean-and-safe source.

ITS-managed Windows servers will be having this fix applied during the Thursday maintenance windows over the next two weeks.
