Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2011-1595 is a client-side rdesktop flaw. If disk redirection is enabled, a malicious or compromised RDP server could make the client read or overwrite files outside the intended shared path. Risk is highest for users connecting to untrusted RDP servers with local drive sharing enabled. Exposure is likely limited to legacy rdesktop installations before 1.7.0 where disk redirection is enabled. Systems using vendor-patched packages may already be fixed. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs or a complete product inventory. Treat this as a targeted legacy-client risk. It is not currently identified as actively exploited, but it can expose or alter local files for users who connect to hostile RDP servers. Prioritize remediation where rdesktop and drive sharing remain in use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade rdesktop to 1.7.0 or a vendor-patched package.; Disable disk redirection where it is not operationally required.; Restrict users from connecting to untrusted RDP servers..
