FreeBSD : freerdp -- clients using the `/video` command line switch might read uninitialized data (dd271de6-b444-11ed-9268-b42e991fc52e)

high Nessus Plugin ID 171898

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dd271de6-b444-11ed-9268-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 - FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients. All FreeRDP based clients when using the `/video` command line switch might read uninitialized data, decode it as audio/video and display the result. FreeRDP based server implementations are not affected. This issue has been patched in version 2.8.1. If you cannot upgrade do not use the `/video` switch. (CVE-2022-39283)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
