SV-3450r1_rule Terminal Services is not configured to limit the number of connections.

Vulnerability discussion

This setting limits the number of simultaneous connections allowed to the terminal server. By default, unlimited connections are allowed. Allowing unlimited connections allows a potential DoS attack. The number of incoming connections should be limited to one.

Fix text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services “Limit Number of Connections” to “Enabled”, and the value “TS maximum connections allowed” to no more than “1”.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
