Description SMASH SMASH 2023-09-28 10:10:43 UTC 
xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol server. Access to the font
glyphs in xrdp_painter.c is not bounds-checked . Since some of this data is
controllable by the user, this can result in an out-of-bounds read within the
xrdp executable. The vulnerability allows an out-of-bounds read within a
potentially privileged process. On non-Debian platforms, xrdp tends to run as
root. Potentially an out-of-bounds write can follow the out-of-bounds read.
There is no denial-of-service impact, providing xrdp is running in forking mode.
This issue has been addressed in release 0.9.23.1. Users are advised to upgrade.
There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
