Subject: DirectRDP: X2Go Client reveals user password in process list if xfreerdp is used
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:10:54 +0000
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: x2goclient
Severity: grave

When a users uses X2Go Client for directly accessing an RDP Server,  
then one can use the DirectRDP feature.

The DirectRDP features allows wrapping around the rdesktop command or  
the xfreerdp command.

With both wrapper modes, the password is given to the RDP client  
application on the command line.

With rdesktop, the command line ($@) gets rewritten for the process  
list and the password is replaced by XXXXXXXX.

With xfreerdp, the command line stays as is and reveals the RDP user's  
password on the process list of the machine that X2Go Client runs on.

The FreeRDP people have added a command line option --from-stdin to  
xfreerdp 1.0.x for this purpose, that may be an option using in X2Go  
Client. However, I am not sure, if this option survived in xfreerdp  
1.1.x or later (it is not on the xfreerdp man page for  
1.1.0~git<sometime-in-2014> as shipped with Debian jessie.

Uh, wait a minute.  We're still shipping X2GoClient for distributions
that have an older xfreerdp version in their repository.

Thus, this should not be closed until all supported distros have made
the switch to xfreerdp2.

I have xfreerdp 1.0.2 here on Centos 7.6 (freerdp-1.0.2-15.el7.x86_64)
which also XXXes the password:

sibiller  8465  0.0  0.0 260008  4356 pts/3    Sl+  17:48   0:00
xfreerdp -p *** -u sibiller wts

So do we really have distros using an older version?
