Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in rdesktop, a
Remote Desktop Protocol client. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2008-1801

Remote exploitation of an integer underflow vulnerability allows
attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
