MGASA-2023-0334 - Updated xrdp packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 01 Dec 2023
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2023-0334.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2023-42822

Description:
The updated packages fix a security vulnerability

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.
