Ubuntu Security Notice USN-646-1 September 18, 2008
rdesktop vulnerabilities
CVE-2008-1801, CVE-2008-1802, CVE-2008-1803
==========================
==========================
=========

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
rdesktop 1.4.1-1.1ubuntu0.6.06.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
rdesktop 1.5.0-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 7.10:
rdesktop 1.5.0-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
rdesktop 1.5.0-3+cvs20071006ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that rdesktop did not properly validate the length
of packet headers when processing RDP requests. If a user were tricked
into connecting to a malicious server, an attacker could cause a
denial of service or possible execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user. (CVE-2008-1801)

Multiple buffer overflows were discovered in rdesktop when processing
RDP redirect requests. If a user were tricked into connecting to a
malicious server, an attacker could cause a denial of service or
possible execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
(CVE-2008-1802)

It was discovered that rdesktop performed a signed integer comparison
when reallocating dynamic buffers which could result in a heap-based
overflow. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious
server, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possible
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
(CVE-2008-1802)
