Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Tarantella Enterprise 3, which potentially can result in disclosure of sensitive information.
The problem is that a user's keypresses can be sent to another user's emulator session. This can either result in disclosure of sensitive information or give a user the ability to control another user's application (it's not possible to see the other user's display, though).
The vulnerability affects version 3.3 and prior. However, it only exists, if the default setting "Maximum Users Per Engine" has been changed.
Solution:
Reportedly, the vulnerability will be fixed in the next release.
In the meantime, make sure that the "Maximum Users Per Engine" setting is set to the default setting (1).
See the original advisory for more information regarding how this can be configured.
