From $URL:

I'm happy to announce a new release of rdesktop, version 1.7.0. This fixes 
some important bugs and is therefore recommended for all users.

Key changes:

   * Security: Directory traversal vulnerability with disk redirection (disallow /.. requests)

<-- snip -->

The upstream fix looks to be at: http://rdesktop.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rdesktop?view=revision&revision=1626

rdesktop-1.7.0 is in tree now and seems to be working fine so far (this is mostly a bugfix release anyway). It looks like the RH bug is not publicly accessible, but stabling this new version looks like a good idea

Current stable KEYWORDS: alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86
