high Nessus Plugin ID 365880

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-2026-130071 advisory.

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a buffer over-read vulnerability in the rts_read_result function within the RPC gateway transport parser. Attackers can send a malicious BIND_ACK PDU with a truncated result entry to trigger an out-of-bounds read causing process abort.

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.
