What Changed
Red Hat released FreeRDP 2.11.7-14 packages for six vulnerabilities on the advisory-listed RHEL 8 channels.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 FreeRDP client and library packages; record the installed build or digest, repository and entitlement, owner, exposure, dependencies, and maintenance group.
- Establish applicability. Compare each deployment with the product and fixed-status relationships in RHSA-2026:76747. Do not infer applicability from a component name or CVSS rating alone.
- Remediate. Apply freerdp 2.11.7-14.el8_10 from the supported Red Hat channel for the exact product branch or architecture.
- Validate. Confirm the resulting package version or immutable digest, exercise representative FreeRDP services and recovery paths, monitor for regressions, and record the result.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
Validate representative RDP authentication, gateway, certificate, graphics, clipboard, device-redirection, and dependent application workflows. Preserve pre-change versions or digests, logs, installation output, validation evidence, and rollback decisions.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
