Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: freerdp (UTSA-2026-130067)

high Nessus Plugin ID 365785

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-130067 advisory.

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the URBDRC channel's func_get_ep_desc function that indexes interface arrays by position instead of protocol field InterfaceNumber. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted SELECT_CONFIGURATION message with permuted InterfaceNumber values to read past allocated heap memory and crash the client.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux 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 freerdp package.
