rdesktop bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated rdesktop package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The rdesktop package is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server and
Windows 2000 & 2003 Terminal Services, capable of natively speaking Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP) in order to present the user's NT desktop.

This updated rdesktop package fixes the following bugs:

• When using rdesktop to connect to a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, the server
  generated a cursor-related command that rdesktop did not support. As a
  consequence, the mouse pointer was all black. This update applies an upstream
  patch to fix this issue and the mouse pointer is now white in color with a black
  border when connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. (BZ#581010)
  
• When connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, receiving a redirect
  could cause the rdesktop client to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation
  fault. This update applies a patch that fixes this error, and receiving a
  redirect from a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine no longer causes rdesktop to
  crash. (BZ#572287)
  

All users of rdesktop are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes these bugs.
