Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for xrdp.
CVE-2024-39917[0]:
| xrdp is an open source RDP server. xrdp versions prior to 0.10.0
| have a vulnerability that allows attackers to make an infinite
| number of login attempts. The number of max login attempts is
| supposed to be limited by a configuration parameter `MaxLoginRetry`
| in `/etc/xrdp/sesman.ini`. However, this mechanism was not
| effectively working. As a result, xrdp allows an infinite number of
| login attempts.
Please note, that while the description says prior to 0.10.0 I do not
see the referenced commit in 0.10.0. But I might be wrong, so please
double-check my claim that it is yet unfixed.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
