MS12-020 RDP Exploit Found, Researchers Say Code May Have Leaked From Security Vendor

There is a confirmed legitimate working exploit for the MS12-020 RDP vulnerability in Windows circulating already and researchers say it is capable of either crashing or causing a denial-of-service condition on vulnerable machines. Microsoft has warned customers about the possibility of the exploit surfacing quickly and advised them to patch the flaw immediately. The researcher who discovered the vulnerability said that the packet he included in his original advisory was found in the exploit, raising the specter of a data leak somewhere in the pipeline.

The exploit surfaced on a Chinese download site in the last couple of days and researchers have been able to confirm that it causes a blue screen of death on some systems and a DoS condition on other versions of Windows. Experts have said that the RDP bug, which was discovered by Luigi Auriemma, has the potential to be used as the basis for a large-scale worm and the existence of a working exploit is the first step down that road. The exploit will produce a BSOD on Windows 7 and a DoS on Windows XP
