  <description>
    <p>
    An anonymous researcher reported multiple vulnerabilities in rdesktop
    via iDefense Labs:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>An integer underflow error exists in
    the function iso_recv_msg() in the file iso.c which can be triggered
    via a specially crafted RDP request, causing a heap-based buffer
    overflow (CVE-2008-1801).</li>
    <li>An input validation error exists in
    the function process_redirect_pdu() in the file rdp.c which can be
    triggered via a specially crafted RDP redirect request, causing a
    BSS-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1802).</li>
    <li>
    An integer signedness error exists in the function xrealloc() in the
    file rdesktop.c which can be be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
    overflow (CVE-2008-1803).</li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to
    connect to a malicious RDP server thereby allowing the attacker to
    execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All rdesktop users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/rdesktop-1.6.0&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
