The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - rdesktop: Remote code execution in ui_clip_handle_data (CVE-2018-8800)

  - rdesktop versions up to and including v1.8.3 contain an Out-Of-Bounds Read in the function     ui_clip_handle_data() that results in an information leak. (CVE-2018-20174)

  - rdesktop versions up to and including v1.8.3 contains several Integer Signedness errors that lead to Out-     Of-Bounds Reads in the file mcs.c and result in a Denial of Service (segfault). (CVE-2018-20175)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This update for rdesktop fixes the following issues :

rdesktop was updated to 1.8.6 :

  - Fix protocol code handling new licenses
