The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has freerdp packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - FreeRDP prior to version 2.0.0-rc4 contains an Integer     Truncation that leads to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in     function update_read_bitmap_update() and results in a     memory corruption and probably even a remote code     execution. (CVE-2018-8786)

  - FreeRDP prior to version 2.0.0-rc4 contains an Integer     Overflow that leads to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in     function gdi_Bitmap_Decompress() and results in a memory     corruption and probably even a remote code execution.
    (CVE-2018-8787)

  - FreeRDP prior to version 2.0.0-rc4 contains an Out-Of-     Bounds Write of up to 4 bytes in function     nsc_rle_decode() that results in a memory corruption and     possibly even a remote code execution. (CVE-2018-8788)
