Unity Linux 20.1050a / 20.1060a / 20.1070a Security Update: freerdp (UTSA-2026-130081)

high Nessus Plugin ID 365831

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-2026-130081 advisory.

FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain a heap-based buffer overflow in nego_send_negotiation_request when processing Server Redirection PDU messages with attacker-controlled LoadBalanceInfo fields. A malicious RDP server can trigger the overflow by sending an arbitrary-length field that gets written to a fixed 512-byte buffer without validation, causing client crashes or potential code execution when chained with memory disclosure.

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.
