 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Out of Bound Write in xrdp_mm_trans_process_drdynvc_channel_open() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
 Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23478)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a buffer over flow in xrdp_mm_chan_data_in() function.
 There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23479)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a buffer over flow in devredir_proc_client_devlist_announce_req() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23480)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Out of Bound Read in xrdp_caps_process_confirm_active() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23481)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Out of Bound Read in xrdp_sec_process_mcs_data_CS_CORE() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23482)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Out of Bound Read in libxrdp_send_to_channel() function.
 There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23483)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Integer Overflow in xrdp_mm_process_rail_update_window_text() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue. Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23484)

 - xrdp is an open source project which provides a graphical login to remote machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). xrdp < v0.9.21 contain a Out of Bound Read in xrdp_mm_trans_process_drdynvc_channel_close() function. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
 Users are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2022-23493)

 - xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. In affected versions an integer underflow leading to a heap overflow in the sesman server allows any unauthenticated attacker which is able to locally access a sesman server to execute code as root. This vulnerability has been patched in version 0.9.18.1 and above. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-23613)

 - 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)

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

Solution

Update the affected xorgxrdp, xrdp and / or xrdp-pulseaudio-installer packages.
