Topic

An updated rdesktop package that fixes one security issue is now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

Description

rdesktop is a client for the Remote Desktop Server (previously, Terminal
Server) in Microsoft Windows. It uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to
remotely present a user's desktop.

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way rdesktop shared a local
path with a remote server. If a user connects to a malicious server with
rdesktop, the server could use this flaw to cause rdesktop to read and
write to arbitrary, local files accessible to the user running rdesktop.
(CVE-2011-1595)

Red Hat would like to thank Cendio AB for reporting this issue. Cendio AB
acknowledges an anonymous contributor working with the SecuriTeam Secure
Disclosure program as the original reporter.

Users of rdesktop should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
