FreeRDP prior to version 2.0.0-rc4 contains an Integer Truncation that leads to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in function update_read_bitmap_update() and results in a memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - freerdp: Out-of-bounds write in nsc_rle_decode() function (CVE-2018-8788)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and application crash) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2013-4118)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta+2013071101 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and application crash) by disconnecting before authentication has finished. (CVE-2013-4119)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

FreeRDP fix for CVE-2018-1000852, Remmina bugfix update and rebuilds for updated FreeRDP.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

For the FreeRDP version in Debian jessie LTS a security and functionality update has recently been provided. FreeRDP is a free re-implementation of the Microsoft RDP protocol (server and client side) with freerdp-x11 being the most common RDP client these days.

Functional improvements :

With help from FreeRDP upstream (cudos to Bernhard Miklautz and Martin Fleisz) we are happy to announce that RDP proto v6 and CredSSP v3 support have been backported to the old FreeRDP 1.1 branch.

Since Q2/2018, Microsoft Windows servers and clients received an update that defaulted their RDP server to proto version 6. Since this change, people have not been able anymore to connect to recently updated MS Windows machines using old the FreeRDP 1.1 branch as found in Debian jessie LTS and Debian stretch.

With the recent FreeRDP upload to Debian jessie LTS, connecting to up-to-date MS Windows machines is now again possible.

Security issues :

CVE-2018-8786

FreeRDP contained an integer truncation that lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in function update_read_bitmap_update() and resulted in a memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.

CVE-2018-8787

FreeRDP contained an integer overflow that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow in function gdi_Bitmap_Decompress() and resulted in a memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.

CVE-2018-8788

FreeRDP contained an out-of-bounds write of up to 4 bytes in function nsc_rle_decode() that resulted in a memory corruption and possibly even a remote code execution.

CVE-2018-8789

FreeRDP contained several out-of-bounds reads in the NTLM authentication module that resulted in a denial of service (segfault).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these security problems have been fixed in version 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-13~deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your freerdp packages.
