    CVE-2023-40184

    Summary: Updated xrdp packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: In versions prior to 0.9.23 improper handling of session establishment errors allows bypassing OS-level session restrictions. The `auth_start_session` function can return non-zero (1) value on, e.g., PAM error which may result in session restrictions such as max concurrent sessions per user by PAM (ex ./etc/security/limits.conf) to be bypassed. (CVE-2023-40184)
