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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:3830-1 advisory.

  - xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. In versions prior to 0.9.23 improper handling     of session establishment errors allows bypassing OS-level session restrictions. The `auth_start_session`     function can return non-zero (1) value on, e.g., PAM error which may result in in session restrictions     such as max concurrent sessions per user by PAM (ex ./etc/security/limits.conf) to be bypassed. Users     (administrators) don't use restrictions by PAM are not affected. This issue has been addressed in release     version 0.9.23. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

    (CVE-2023-40184)

  - xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol server. Access to the font glyphs in xrdp_painter.c is not     bounds-checked . Since some of this data is controllable by the user, this can result in an out-of-bounds     read within the xrdp executable. The vulnerability allows an out-of-bounds read within a potentially     privileged process. On non-Debian platforms, xrdp tends to run as root. Potentially an out-of-bounds write     can follow the out-of-bounds read. There is no denial-of-service impact, providing xrdp is running in     forking mode. This issue has been addressed in release 0.9.23.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are     no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-42822)
