What is CVE-2017-16927?

The scp_v0s_accept function in the session manager of xrdp can be exploited by local users to trigger a denial of service scenario. By sending a specially crafted input stream, an untrusted integer is utilized as a write length, which may lead to a buffer overflow and result in the application crashing. This vulnerability underscores the importance of implementing safeguards against untrusted inputs to maintain system integrity.
