"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1780647163 advisory.

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    Affected versions are subject to an Out-Of-Bounds Read in the `nsc_rle_decompress_data` function. The Out-
    Of-Bounds Read occurs because it processes `context->Planes` without checking if it contains data of
    sufficient length. Should an attacker be able to leverage this vulnerability they may be able to cause a
    crash. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39354)

  - FreeRDP before 3.26.0 contains a heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in gdi_CacheToSurface that allows
    remote attackers to write out-of-bounds heap memory. The vulnerability occurs because rectangle validation
    clamps coordinates to UINT16_MAX but performs copy operations using unclamped cache entry dimensions,
    enabling malicious RDP servers to trigger large out-of-bounds writes and potentially achieve remote code
    execution or client crash. (CVE-2026-40033)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP server
    can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in the FreeRDP client by sending crafted RDPGFX PDUs. The bug is
    in gdi_CacheToSurface: it validates a destination rectangle that is clamped to UINT16_MAX, but then
    performs the copy using the original cacheEntry->width/height. This can cause a large out-of-bounds heap
    write and may lead to client crashes or code execution. This bug is reachable from a malicious RDP server,
    but only when the client has RDPGFX enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0. (CVE-2026-44421)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, FreeRDP's planar bitmap
    decoder has an out-of-bounds heap write when decoding RLE planar data. In libfreerdp/codec/planar.c,
    freerdp_bitmap_decompress_planar() validates the X destination coordinate nXDst against the caller-
    provided destination stride (nDstStep) even when it is writing into the internal temp buffer pTempData. An
    attacker can bypass the check with a large nDstStep and a large nXDst, causing
    planar_decompress_plane_rle() to write past the end of pTempData. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.
    (CVE-2026-45700)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
