Rocky Linux 8 : freerdp (RLSA-2021:4622)
high Nessus Plugin ID 157831
Synopsis
The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2021:4622 advisory.- FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
All FreeRDP clients prior to version 2.4.1 using gateway connections (`/gt:rpc`) fail to validate input data. A malicious gateway might allow client memory to be written out of bounds. This issue has been resolved in version 2.4.1. If you are unable to update then use `/gt:http` rather than /gt:rdp connections if possible or use a direct connection without a gateway. (CVE-2021-41159)
- FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
In affected versions a malicious server might trigger out of bound writes in a connected client.
Connections using GDI or SurfaceCommands to send graphics updates to the client might send `0` width/height or out of bound rectangles to trigger out of bound writes. With `0` width or heigth the memory allocation will be `0` but the missing bounds checks allow writing to the pointer at this (not allocated) region. This issue has been patched in FreeRDP 2.4.1. (CVE-2021-41160)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
