A command injection vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (MWDA) when the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter does not properly manage user input. For this vulnerability to be exploited, the attacker must be authenticated (logged on) to the target display.

To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker who is connected to the MWDA could send administrative commands to the MWDA, including commands with illegal characters which could cause the MWDA to stop functioning correctly.

The update addresses the vulnerability by modifying how the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter manages administrative input.
