Microsoft Windows Terminal Server Group Policy Bypass Vulnerability

An issue has been reported in Microsoft Windows Terminal Server, which could allow a user of the service to bypass the group policy setting and access restricted resources.

Reportedly, when per server licensing is set for a specific number of users, and the number of permitted users has been exceeded, a connection to the SYSVOL share to inherit appropriate group policy settings fails. Therefore, legitimate users can peruse various resources on the host with his/her user permissions.
