NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : freerdp Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2022-0097)

high Nessus Plugin ID 167467

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, 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.
