Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-39352

critical Nessus Plugin ID 225972

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
 Affected versions are subject to an invalid offset validation leading to Out Of Bound Write. This can be triggered when the values `rect->left` and `rect->top` are exactly equal to `surface->width` and `surface->height`. eg. `rect->left` == `surface->width` && `rect->top` == `surface->height`. In practice this should cause a crash. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39352)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
