FreeBSD : xrdp -- remote code execution (232e16cc-fd83-11f0-981a-98b78501ef2a)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 297436

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 232e16cc-fd83-11f0-981a-98b78501ef2a advisory.

Denis Skvortsov, Security Researcher at Kaspersky reports:
xrdp before v0.10.5 contains an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. The issue stems from improper bounds checking when processing user domain information during the connection sequence. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
