This is not secure. A future release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible. + +## New features +* Both inbound and outbound clipboards can now be restricted for text, files or images [Sponsored by @CyberTrust @clear-code and @kenhys] (#2087) + +## Bug fixes +* [CVE-2022-23613](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-23613): Privilege escalation on xrdp-sesman (This fix is also in the out-of-band v0.9.18.1 release) +* The versions of imlib2 used on RHEL 7 and 8 are now detected correctly (#2118) +* Some situations where zombie processes could exist have been resolved (#2146, #2151, #2168) +* Some null-pointer exceptions which can happen in the logging module have been addressed (#2149) +* Some minor logging errors have been corrected (#2152) +* The signal handling in sesman has been reworked to prevent race conditions when a child exits. This has also made it possible to reliably reload the sesman configuration with SIGHUP (#1729, #2168) + +## Internal changes +* Versions 0.13 and later of checklib can undefine the pre-processor symbol `HAVE_STDINT_H`. The xrdp tests now build successfully against these versions (#2124) +* OpenSSL packaging changes (#2130):- + - The OpenSSL 3 EVP interface is now fully supported + - When building against OpenSSL 3, an internal implementation of the RC4 cipher is used instead of the implementation from the OpenSSL legacy provider + - The wrapping of the OpenSSL library has been improved which should make it simpler to provide an alternative cryptographic provider in the future, if required + - The logging of TLS/non-TLS security negotiation has been improved +* cppcheck version used for CI bumped to 2.7 (#2140) +* The `s_check()` macro which is easily mis-used has been removed (#2144) +* Status values for the DRDYNVC channel are now available in `libxrdp/xrdp_channel.h` + +## Changes for packagers or developers +* On OpenSSL 3 systems, there is now no need to build with the `-Wno-error=deprecated-declarations` flag + +## Known issues + +* On-the-fly resolution change requires the Microsoft Store version of Remote Desktop client but sometimes crashes on connect (#1869) +* xrdp's login dialog is not relocated at the center of the new resolution after on-the-fly resolution change happens (#1867) + +----------------------- + # Release notes for xrdp v0.9.18.1 (2022/02/08) This is a security fix release that includes fixes for the following privilege escalation vulnerability.
