Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60968
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:101 (rdesktop)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to rdesktop
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:101.

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.

Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1, Corporate 4.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
