NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rdesktop package and not the rdesktop package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

rdesktop versions up to and including v1.8.3 contain an Integer Underflow that leads to a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in the function rdpsnddbg_process() and results in memory corruption and probably even a remote code execution.
