Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0576
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2008:0576.

attacker could cause the victim's rdesktop to crash or, possibly, execute
an arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1801)

backported patch to resolve this issue.
