Fedora 37 : xrdp (2022-6fe4046ae9)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 211003

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2022-6fe4046ae9 advisory.

 Release notes for xrdp v0.9.21 (2022/12/10)

 General announcements

 - Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future v1.0 release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible.

 - CVE-2022-23468
