Release notes for xrdp v0.9.20 (2022/09/15)

General announcements

  • Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future v1.0 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

  • Mitigation for too fast vertical scroll has been implemented. This is actually not a new feature of xrdp so see also xorgxrdp v0.9.19 release note.

Bug fixes

  • Windows RDS compatibility has been improved, so some old clients (e.g. Wyse Sx0) can now be used again with xrdp in non-TLS mode (#2273)
  • Update xrdpapi simple example to work with new logging (#2276)
  • sesman: fix spacing in log (#2282)
  • Fix MSTSC crashes when resolution is changed by maximizing on a different monitor (#2292 #1928)
  • Mark count with unused attribute (#2353)
  • Simple maintenance improvements (#2354)

Internal changes

  • FreeBSD version for CI bumped to 12-3 (#2226)
  • cppcheck version used for CI bumped to 2.9 (#2351)

Changes for packagers or developers

Nothing this time.

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 v0.9.19 (2022/03/17)

General announcements

  • Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. 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: Privilege escalation on xrdp-sesman (This fix is also in the out-of-band v0.9.18.1 release)

  • 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

Other topics

Pulseaudio modules has been removed from xrdp source tree since it is actually independent and not part of xrdp. The repository has been moved to: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/pulseaudio-module-xrdp
