Name : rdesktop Product : Fedora 14 Version : 1.6.0 Release : 11.fc14 URL : http://www.rdesktop.org/ Summary : X client for remote desktop into Windows Terminal Server Description : rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server and Windows 2000 & 2003 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT desktop. Unlike Citrix ICA, no server extensions are required. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a security issue in rdesktop 1.6.0. A directory traversal flaw was found in the way rdesktop shared a local path with a remote server. If a user connects to a malicious server with rdesktop, the server could use this flaw to cause rdesktop to read and write to arbitrary, local files accessible to the user running rdesktop. (CVE-2011-1595) Fedora would like to thank Cendio AB for reporting this issue. Cendio AB acknowledges an anonymous contributor working with the SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program as the original reporter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon May 30 2011 Kalev Lember <[email protected]> - 1.6.0-11 - Prevent remote file access (CVE-2011-1595) * Thu Dec 2 2010 Dominik Mierzejewski <[email protected]> - 1.6.0-10 - patch libao output driver to fix segfault (bugs #657172, #657813, * Sat Nov 20 2010 Dominik Mierzejewski <[email protected]> - 1.6.0-9 - add libao support (supports ALSA and PulseAudio, should fix bugs * Fri Aug 20 2010 Dominik Mierzejewski <[email protected]> - 1.6.0-8 - drop hard dependency on pcsc-lite (bug #527712) - fix build against current pcsc-lite - add a proper source URL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #676252 - CVE-2011-1595 rdesktop remote file access https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676252 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
