Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : rdesktop regression (USN-453-2)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 28051

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

USN-453-1 provided an updated libx11 package to fix a security vulnerability. This triggered an error in rdesktop so that it crashed on startup. This update fixes the problem.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected rdesktop package.
