Synopsis:	Moderate: rdesktop security update
Issue date:	2011-05-11
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-1595

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way rdesktop shared a local
path with a remote server. If a user connects to a malicious server with
rdesktop, the server could use this flaw to cause rdesktop to read and
write to arbitrary, local files accessible to the user running rdesktop.
