    Package        : xrdp     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-68670     Debian Bug     : 1126537

    Denis Skvortsov discovered that xrdp, a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)     server, was susceptible to an unauthenticated stack-based buffer     overflow vulnerability, which may result in remote execution of     arbitrary code.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed     in version 0.9.21.1-1+deb12u2.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in     version 0.10.1-3.1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xrdp packages.

    For the detailed security status of xrdp please refer to its security     tracker page at:
