Insight
Insight
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rdesktop, a Remote Desktop Protocol client. An integer underflow vulnerability allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user (CVE-2008-1801). A buffer overflow vulnerability allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user (CVE-2008-1802). An integer signedness vulnerability allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user (CVE-2008-1803). In order for these vulnerabilities to be exploited, an attacker must persuade a targeted user to connect to a malicious RDP server. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
