FreeRDP based clients on unix systems using `/parallel` command line switch might read uninitialized data and send it to the server the client is currently connected to. FreeRDP based server implementations are not affected. Please upgrade to 2.8.1 where this issue is patched. If unable to upgrade, do not use parallel port redirection (`/parallel` command line switch) as a workaround. A vulnerability was found in FreeRDP where clients on UNIX systems using /parallel command line switch might read uninitialized data and send it to the client's server. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
