How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-24035 is a critical vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) that arises due to improper locking of memory regions containing sensitive data. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted network packets to a vulnerable RDS instance, leading to memory corruption. This allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the RDS service, potentially granting full system control. The attack is remotely exploitable without authentication, making it highly dangerous for exposed systems. The vulnerability stems from a race condition where memory access is not properly synchronized, enabling data manipulation during processing.
