{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917","details":"xrdp is an open source RDP server. xrdp versions prior to 0.10.0 have a vulnerability that allows attackers to make an infinite number of login attempts. The number of max login attempts is supposed to be  limited by a configuration parameter `MaxLoginRetry` in `/etc/xrdp/sesman.ini`. However, this mechanism was not effectively working. As a result, xrdp allows an infinite number of login attempts.","modified":"2026-01-20T17:54:04.436142Z","published":"2024-07-12T16:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-39917"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-39917"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-39917"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/security/advisories/GHSA-7w22-h4w7-8j5j"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1+esm3?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.6.0-1","0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1","0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1+esm1","0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1+esm2","0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.6.0-1ubuntu0.1+esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3+esm3?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.6.1-2","0.6.1-2ubuntu0.1","0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3","0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3+esm1","0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3+esm2","0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.6.1-2ubuntu0.3+esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.1-9","0.9.4-1","0.9.4-2","0.9.4-3","0.9.4-4","0.9.4-5","0.9.5-1","0.9.5-1build1","0.9.5-2","0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm1","0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xorgxrdp","binary_version":"0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"xrdp-pulseaudio-installer","binary_version":"0.9.5-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.9.12-1ubuntu0.1+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.9-1","0.9.12-1","0.9.12-1ubuntu0.1","0.9.12-1ubuntu0.1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.9.12-1ubuntu0.1+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.9.17-2ubuntu3+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.15-1ubuntu1","0.9.17-1","0.9.17-2","0.9.17-2ubuntu1","0.9.17-2ubuntu2","0.9.17-2ubuntu2+esm1","0.9.17-2ubuntu3","0.9.17-2ubuntu3+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.9.17-2ubuntu3+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.9.24-4?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.21.1-1","0.9.24-2","0.9.24-3","0.9.24-3build1","0.9.24-3build2","0.9.24-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.9.24-4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}},{"package":{"name":"xrdp","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/xrdp@0.10.1-3.1?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.10.1-3","0.10.1-3.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"xrdp","binary_version":"0.10.1-3.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39917.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
