Descriptions

xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol server. Access to the font glyphs in xrdp_painter.c is not bounds-checked . Since some of this data is controllable by the user, this can result in an out-of-bounds read within the xrdp executable. The vulnerability allows an out-of-bounds read within a potentially privileged process. On non-Debian platforms, xrdp tends to run as root. Potentially an out-of-bounds write can follow the out-of-bounds read. There is no denial-of-service impact, providing xrdp is running in forking mode. This issue has been addressed in release 0.9.23.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

xrdp es un servidor de protocolo de escritorio remoto de código abierto. El acceso a los font glyphs en xrdp_painter.c no está controlado por los límites. Dado que algunos de estos datos son controlables por el usuario, esto puede resultar en una lectura fuera de los límites dentro del ejecutable xrdp. La vulnerabilidad permite una lectura fuera de los límites dentro de un proceso potencialmente privilegiado. En plataformas que no son Debian, xrdp tiende a ejecutarse como root. Potencialmente, una escritura fuera de los límites puede seguir a la lectura fuera de los límites. No hay ningún impacto de denegación de servicio, siempre que xrdp se ejecute en modo fork. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 0.9.23.1. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
