Bug 876905 – <net-misc/freerdp-2.8.1: uninitialized reads

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description John Helmert III 2022-10-13 01:45:04 UTC]

CVE-2022-39282 (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-c45q-wcpg-mxjq):

FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients. FreeRDP based clients on unix systems using `/parallel` command line switch might read uninitialized data and send it to the server the client is currently connected to. FreeRDP based server implementations are not affected. Please upgrade to 2.8.1 where this issue is patched. If unable to upgrade, do not use parallel port redirection (`/parallel` command line switch) as a workaround.

CVE-2022-39283 (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-6cf9-3328-qrvh):

FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients. All FreeRDP based clients when using the `/video` command line switch might read uninitialized data, decode it as audio/video and display the result. FreeRDP based server implementations are not affected. This issue has been patched in version 2.8.1. If you cannot upgrade do not use the `/video` switch.

Please bump to 3.8.1.

Thanks! Normally wouldn't GLSA for uninitialized reads, but we'll just throw it into a GLSA with the other bugs.

[Comment 6 John Helmert III 2022-10-21 00:47:38 UTC]

GLSA request filed.
