"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-23530:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version
    3.21.0,`freerdp_bitmap_decompress_planar` does not validate `nSrcWidth`/`nSrcHeight` against
    `planar->maxWidth`/`maxHeight` before RLE decode. A malicious server can trigger a clientside heap
    buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending
    on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23531:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, in ClearCodec,
    when `glyphData` is present, `clear_decompress` calls `freerdp_image_copy_no_overlap` without validating
    the destination rectangle, allowing an out-of-bounds read/write via crafted RDPGFX surface updates. A
    malicious server can trigger a clientside heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential
    heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout.
    Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23532:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side
    heap buffer overflow occurs in the  FreeRDP clients `gdi_SurfaceToSurface` path due to a mismatch
    between destination rectangle clamping and the actual copy size. A malicious server can trigger a
    clientside heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with
    codeexecution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains
    a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23533:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side
    heap buffer overflow occurs in the RDPGFX ClearCodec decode path when maliciously crafted residual data
    causes out-of-bounds writes during color output. A malicious server can trigger a clientside heap
    buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending
    on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23534:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side
    heap buffer overflow occurs in the ClearCodec bands decode path when crafted band coordinates allow writes
    past the end of the destination surface buffer. A malicious server can trigger a clientside heap buffer
    overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending on
    allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23883:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, `xf_Pointer_New`
    frees `cursorPixels` on failure, then `pointer_free` calls `xf_Pointer_Free` and frees it again,
    triggering ASan UAF. A malicious server can trigger a clientside use after free, causing a crash (DoS)
    and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding
    heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.

    CVE-2026-23884:
    FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, offscreen bitmap
    deletion leaves `gdi->drawing` pointing to freed memory, causing UAF when related update packets arrive. A
    malicious server can trigger a clientside use after free, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap
    corruption with codeexecution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version
    3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
