The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6474-1 advisory.

It was discovered that xrdp incorrectly handled validation of client-supplied data, which could lead to     out-of-bounds reads. An attacker could possibly use this issue to crash the program or extract sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-23479, CVE-2022-23481, CVE-2022-23483, CVE-2023-42822)

It was discovered that xrdp improperly handled session establishment errors. An attacker could potentially     use this issue to bypass the OS-level session restrictions by PAM. (CVE-2023-40184)

It was discovered that xrdp incorrectly handled validation of client-supplied data, which could lead to     out-of-bounds writes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause memory corruption or execute     arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
