1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8791)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read condition in the rdpdr_process() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim who is using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client on a targeted system into connecting to an attacker-controlled RDP server, trigger segmentation fault (segfault) and access sensitive information on the targeted system.
