Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2008-101

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory – 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. A buffer overflow vulnerability allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user. An integer signedness vulnerability allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user. In order for these vulnerabilities to be exploited, an attacker must persuade a targeted user to connect to a malicious RDP server.
