The problem is that the private key used for signing a terminal server's public key is hard-coded into the mstlsapi.dll library. This can be exploited to calculate a valid signature, which can be used for performing MitM attacks. Successful exploitation requires that a malicious person is able to intercept traffic between the terminal client and terminal server. NOTE: Functionality for exploiting this has reportedly been included in Cain & Abel 2.7. SOLUTION: Connect only to terminal services over trusted networks.
