NewStart CGSL CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05 : freerdp Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2023-0025)

high Nessus Plugin ID 174063

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has freerdp packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL freerdp packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
