Memory disclosure via unchecked channel data length
Published Dec 9, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in libxrdp_send_to_channel in xrdp before 0.9.21 allows remote attackers to disclose process memory via RDP. xrdp_mm_trans_process_channel_data trusted an application-supplied channel size and passed its stream pointer to libxrdp_send_to_channel without verifying that the declared bytes remained. An unauthenticated RDP connection can supply an invalid channel length, exposing adjacent process memory; no memory write or code execution is reported.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
