CVE-2013-1430
Published: 16 December 2016
An issue was discovered in xrdp before 0.9.1. When successfully logging in using RDP into an xrdp session, the file ~/.vnc/sesman_${username}_passwd is created. Its content is the equivalent of the user's cleartext password, DES encrypted with a known key.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that xrdp used a known key to store session passwords in text files. An attacker could potentially decrypt the file to obtain a user password.
