CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe xrdp server is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow due to inadequate bounds checking in its virtual channel forwarding mechanism, affecting versions 0.10.6 and earlier. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause heap memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the xrdp process. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 0.10.6.1 or later to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
xrdp is an open source RDP server. Versions 0.10.6 and prior contain a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability within the virtual channel forwarding mechanism. When forwarding data from a remote client to the internal channel server, the xrdp process utilizes a fixed-size buffer without adequate bounds checking on the incoming payload. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted virtual channel message that exceeds the buffer capacity, leading to heap memory corruption. This may result in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the xrdp process. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.1.
