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

  - FreeRDP is a set of free and open source remote desktop protocol library and clients. In affected versions
    an integer overflow in `freerdp_bitmap_planar_context_reset` leads to heap-buffer overflow. This affects
    FreeRDP based clients. FreeRDP based server implementations and proxy are not affected. A malicious server
    could prepare a `RDPGFX_RESET_GRAPHICS_PDU` to allocate too small buffers, possibly triggering later out
    of bound read/write. Data extraction over network is not possible, the buffers are used to display an
    image. This issue has been addressed in version 2.11.5 and 3.2.0. Users are advised to upgrade. there are
    no know workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-22211)
