I remote from my Linux Mint desktop to my Windows server 2008 computer using Remmina RDP client. Do you think I will get locked out of my own computer?

Good lord, I hope not. Presumably, if Server can tell whether a Windows RDP client is patched or not, it can tell that it's not talking with a Microsoft client at all -- Remmina or rdesktop or whatever.

That will be a flaming disaster if it blocks all non-Microsoft clients.

Also: The Register article does say: " It's also worth looking for updates from vendors of third-party RDP clients, as they can also fall foul of this vulnerability."

Oy, this could get ugly quickly...
