        This module exploits the MS12-020 RDP vulnerability originally discovered and
        reported by Luigi Auriemma.  The flaw can be found in the way the T.125
        ConnectMCSPDU packet is handled in the maxChannelIDs field, which will result
        an invalid pointer being used, therefore causing a denial-of-service condition.
