Debian DLA-1095-1 : freerdp security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 103095

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Tyler Bohan of Talos discovered that FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), contained several vulnerabilities that allowed a malicious remote server or a man-in-the-middle to either cause a DoS by forcibly terminating the client, or execute arbitrary code on the client side.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1-1.1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your freerdp packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
