Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2026-07-20 19:48:53 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

xrdp is an open source RDP server. Versions 0.10.6 and prior contain a vulnerability concerning the processing of RDP Confirm Active PDU, where during the capability negotiation phase, the parser did not perform sufficient length validation for specific capability sets. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted RDP packet containing malformed capability data. Due to missing bounds checks, the xrdp process may perform out-of-bounds memory reads, which can result in the termination of the service (Denial of Service). However, since xrdp forks a new process for each connection by default, an out-of-bounds read causing a process crash is unlikely to bring down the entire xrdp service. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.1.
