Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for xrdp.
CVE-2023-40184[0]:
| xrdp is an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. In
| versions prior to 0.9.23 improper handling of session establishment
| errors allows bypassing OS-level session restrictions. The
| `auth_start_session` function can return non-zero (1) value on,
| e.g., PAM error which may result in in session restrictions such as
| max concurrent sessions per user by PAM (ex
| ./etc/security/limits.conf) to be bypassed. Users (administrators)
| don't use restrictions by PAM are not affected. This issue has been
| addressed in release version 0.9.23. Users are advised to upgrade.
| There are no known workarounds for this issue.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
