Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69643
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:0506
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2011:0506.

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.

backported patch to resolve this issue.

Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
