Package        : xrdp
Version        : 0.9.1-9+deb9u4
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-4044
Debian Bug     : 964573

xrdp-sesman service in xrdp can be crashed by connecting over port 3350
and supplying a malicious payload. Once the xrdp-sesman process is dead,
an unprivileged attacker on the server could then proceed to start their
own imposter sesman service listening on port 3350. This will allow them
to capture any user credentials that are submitted to XRDP and approve or
reject arbitrary login credentials. For xorgxrdp sessions in particular,
this allows an unauthorized user to hijack an existing session. This is a
buffer overflow attack, so there may be a risk of arbitrary code
execution as well.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
0.9.1-9+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your xrdp packages.
