Description
xrdp is an open source RDP server. Versions 0.10.6 and prior contain a vulnerability concerning the parsing of Client Security Data within the Client MCS Connect Initial PDU with GCC Conference Create Request during the connection sequence. During the initial capability and security negotiation phase, the parser fails to perform sufficient length validation for the incoming data block. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted RDP packet containing malformed data. Due to missing bounds checks, the xrdp process may read a small number of bytes beyond the declared data block boundary, potentially disclosing process memory contents that could be combined with other vulnerabilities. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.1.

AI Analysis

Impact

xrdp performs an out‑of‑bounds read when parsing Client Security Data in the GCC Conference Create Request during the initial connection sequence. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a malicious RDP packet that bypasses length validation, allowing the server process to read a few bytes beyond the declared data block. These bytes may contain sensitive memory contents that could be combined with other vulnerabilities, leading to an information leak.

Affected Systems

The open‑source RDP server xrdp from neutrinolabs is impacted. Versions 0.10.6 and earlier are vulnerable; the fix is incorporated in release 0.10.6.1 and newer.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 places the flaw in the moderate range, with an EPSS score of <1%, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires remote, unauthenticated access via the RDP protocol, which is frequently exposed over the Internet or internal networks. The lack of bounds checks enables the attacker to read memory beyond the intended boundary, making this a viable vector for information disclosure and a potential stepping stone to other attacks if coupled with additional system weaknesses.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the xrdp package to version 0.10.6.1 or later to apply the security fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, limit inbound RDP access by configuring firewall rules or host‑based access controls to only trusted IP ranges.
  • Implement monitoring of RDP traffic for anomalous packets and review logs for signs of exploitation attempts.
