CVE-2018-8795

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions rdesktop versions up to and including v1.8.3

Description The issue is related to an Integer Overflow in the process bitmap updates() function, leading to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow, which results in memory corruption and potentially allows for remote code execution. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions up to and including v1.8.3, update to a version later than v1.8.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the process bitmap updates() function until a patch is available.
