CVE-2018-20181 rdesktop: Remote code execution in seamless_process
A flaw was found in rdesktop before 1.8.4. A issue in seamless_process function may lead to remote code execution.
Upstream patch:

Note:
You need to connect to a malicious or a MITM RDP server in order to trigger this flaw. The malicious RDP server can cause a controlled buffer overflow on the client, which may result in code execution. However since the flaw can only be triggered by a specially crafted RDP server, this is why it is rated as having moderate security impact.
