Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
xrdp is an open source RDP server. Versions through 0.10.5 contain a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the NeutrinoRDP module. When proxying RDP sessions from xrdp to another server, the module fails to properly validate the size of reassembled fragmented virtual channel data against its allocated memory buffer. A malicious downstream RDP server (or an attacker capable of performing a Man-in-the-Middle attack) could exploit this flaw to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) or Remote Code Execution (RCE). The NeutrinoRDP module is not built by default. This vulnerability only affects environments where the module has been explicitly compiled and enabled. Users can verify if the module is built by checking for --enable-neutrinordp in the output of the xrdp -v command. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-122

Data overflows a buffer allocated on the heap, corrupting neighbouring heap structures and allocator metadata that a patient attacker can groom into control of execution. It is subtler than a stack overflow but just as dangerous. The fix is validating lengths before every write and using safe allocators and bounded operations.

Recommended fix High confidence

xrdp version 0.10.6

  1. Check if the NeutrinoRDP module is built by running 'xrdp -v' and looking for '--enable-neutrinordp' in the output. If not present, this vulnerability does not apply to your installation.
  2. If the module is built and enabled, plan to upgrade xrdp to version 0.10.6 or later.
  3. Download the fixed release from https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/releases/tag/v0.10.6
  4. Install the upgraded xrdp package following standard installation procedures for your distribution.
  5. After upgrading, verify the new version by running 'xrdp -v' to confirm version 0.10.6 or higher is installed.
  6. Restart the xrdp service to ensure the new version is fully operational.
