title: Dangling pointer in RDP static virtual channel handling cve: CVE-2020-9498 fixed: 1.2.0

Apache Guacamole 1.1.0 and older may mishandle pointers involved in processing data received via RDP static virtual channels. If a user connects to a malicious or compromised RDP server, a series of specially-crafted PDUs could result in memory corruption, possibly allowing arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the running guacd process.
