  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients that use a version
    of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 and have connections to servers using the `NSC` codec are vulnerable
    to integer underflow. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. As a workaround, do not use the NSC codec
    (e.g. use `-nsc`). (CVE-2024-32040)

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