Debian LTS: DLA-1666-1: freerdp security update
Summary
Functional improvements:
With help from FreeRDP upstream (cudos to Bernhard Miklautz and
Martin Fleisz) we are happy to announce that RDP proto v6 and CredSSP
v3 support have been backported to the old FreeRDP 1.1 branch.
Since Q2/2018, Microsoft Windows servers and clients received an
update that defaulted their RDP server to proto version 6. Since this
change, people have not been able anymore to connect to recently
updated MS Windows machines using old the FreeRDP 1.1 branch as found
in Debian jessie LTS and Debian stretch.
With the recent FreeRDP upload to Debian jessie LTS, connecting to
up-to-date MS Windows machines is now again possible.
Security issues:
CVE-2018-8786
FreeRDP contained an integer truncation that lead to a heap-based
buffer overflow in function update_read_bitmap_update() and resulted
in a memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.
CVE-2018-8787
FreeRDP contained an integer overflow that leads to a heap-based
buffer overflow in function gdi_Bitmap_Decompress() and resulted in a
memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.
CVE-2018-8788
FreeRDP contained an out-of-bounds write of up to 4 bytes in function
nsc_rle_decode() that resulted in a memory corruption and possibly
even a remote code execution.
CVE-2018-8789
FreeRDP contained several out-of-bounds reads in the NTLM
authentication module that resulted in a denial of service
(segfault).
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these security problems have been fixed in version
1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-13~deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your freerdp packages.
