"The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
FEDORA-2023-0ce6a8afe5 advisory.
- 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. (CVE-2023-42822)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
