The following mitigating factor might be helpful in your situation: To be exploitable by this vulnerability the Windows Fax Service has to be installed and configured. If Windows Fax Service is enabled, consider disabling it until you have installed this update that addresses this vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS score, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** This attack is limited to systems connected to the same network segment as the attacker. The attack cannot be performed across multiple networks (for example, a WAN) and would be limited to systems on the same network switch or virtual network.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to total loss of availability (A:H)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker could impact availability of the service resulting in Denial of Service (DoS).

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to total loss of availability (A:H)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker could impact availability of the service resulting in Denial of Service (DoS).

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.

**How would an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could connect to the Remote Desktop Licensing Service and send a malicious message which could allow remote code execution.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.
