CVE-2022-1736

Published: 17 May 2022

Turning off RDP Remote Desktop Sharing with gnome-control-center would only turn off RDP sharing for the current session. Upon logging back in, RDP Sharing would be enabled again without any additional user interaction or notification.

Notes

This issue is caused by Ubuntu's configuration which results in
gnome-remote-desktop's systemd service always running. That
issue will be also fixed in a future SRU.
