description = [[
Checks if a machine is vulnerable to MS12-020 RDP vulnerability.

The Microsoft bulletin MS12-020 patches two vulnerabilities: CVE-2012-0152
which addresses a denial of service vulnerability inside Terminal Server, and
CVE-2012-0002 which fixes a vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol. Both are
part of Remote Desktop Services.

The script works by checking for the CVE-2012-0152 vulnerability. If this
vulnerability is not patched, it is assumed that CVE-2012-0002 is not patched
either. This script can do its check without crashing the target.

The way this works follows:
* Send one user request. The server replies with a user id (call it A) and a channel for that user.
* Send another user request. The server replies with another user id (call it B) and another channel.
* Send a channel join request with requesting user set to A and requesting channel set to B. If the server replies with a success message, we conclude that the server is vulnerable.
* In case the server is vulnerable, send a channel join request with the requesting user set to B and requesting channel set to B to prevent the chance of a crash.
