CVE-2002-0444: Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Services

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft Windows 2000 running the Terminal Server 90-day trial version, and possibly other versions, does not apply group policies to incoming users when the number of connections to the SYSVOL share exceeds the maximum, e.g. with a maximum number of licenses, which can allow remote authenticated users to bypass group policies.
