"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - In FreeRDP less than or equal to 2.1.2, an integer overflow exists due to missing input sanitation in
    rdpegfx channel. All FreeRDP clients are affected. The input rectangles from the server are not checked
    against local surface coordinates and blindly accepted. A malicious server can send data that will crash
    the client later on (invalid length arguments to a `memcpy`) This has been fixed in 2.2.0. As a
    workaround, stop using command line arguments /gfx, /gfx-h264 and /network:auto (CVE-2020-15103)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
