  - FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients. Affected versions of FreeRDP are missing
    path canonicalization and base path check for `drive` channel. A malicious server can trick a FreeRDP
    based client to read files outside the shared directory. This issue has been addressed in version 2.9.0
    and all users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should not use the `/drive`, `/drives` or
    `+home-drive` redirection switch. (CVE-2022-39347)

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