Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

Array index error in the xrdp_bitmap_def_proc function in xrdp/funcs.c in xrdp 0.4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors that manipulate the value of the edit_pos structure member.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
