  - xrdp is an open source RDP server. xrdp before v0.10.5 contains an unauthenticated stack-based buffer
    overflow vulnerability. The issue stems from improper bounds checking when processing user domain
    information during the connection sequence. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers
    to execute arbitrary code on the target system. The vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite the
    stack buffer and the return address, which could theoretically be used to redirect the execution flow. The
    impact of this vulnerability is lessened if a compiler flag has been used to build the xrdp executable
    with stack canary protection. If this is the case, a second vulnerability would need to be used to leak
    the stack canary value. Upgrade to version 0.10.5 to receive a patch. Additionally, do not rely on stack
    canary protection on production systems. (CVE-2025-68670)

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