Please note that as per http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q3/98 1.1.0-beta1 does _NOT_ correct these issues.  This post indicates the snapshot that fixes these issues (freerdp-1.1.0-beta+2013071101), so that will either need to be used, the patches applied to our existing packages, or waiting for (presumably) beta2.

The server pert of FreeRDP is barely usable yet. The Fedora/EPEL packages only contains the client program.

The complexity of the RDP protocol and the way FreeRDP is coded do that it only should be used on trusted networks, connecting to trusted servers.

The impact of these issues are thus quite low.

I also don't think it is feasible to fix the issues right now. I doubt it is feasible to backport these fixes to 1.0.2 ... and I doubt that these issues are more important than many other issues in the "old" version. Upgrading to a development version is also not really an option.
