Description:
Windows 2000 and XP systems running as terminal servers can be crashed by local users. This can be done via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) or Citrix ICA Clients.
A user needs to log in and open %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\MSGINA.DLL with exclusive read access. Then the user should open a new connection to the server, the user will then get a warning dialog asking him to restart the system.
This only affect terminal server systems. Windows systems running as normal workstations and servers are not vulnerable.
