RDP not working in Linux after patching MS12-020

2

Our company recently applied patches for a Microsoft vulnerability (MS12-020 - Vulnerabilities in Remote Desktop Could Allow Remote Code Execution) which affected RDP to Windows servers.

Since this I've have difficulty with clients connecting to the server. Originally I was unable to connect XP machines but we fixed that following this guide. I'm still unable to connect with a Linux machine.

Does anyone know a workaround?

It seems that FreeRDP has support for "Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP)" which is what you now need in order to access your servers via RDP.

Also encountering ""Failed to connect, CredSSP required by server." in rdesktop (rdesktop-1.8.3-2.fc23). At Sourceforge, Henrik Andersson says: "Make sure to initialize a kerberos ticket to be able to connect using CredSSP. There are a lot of guides out there how to do configure a linux kerberos client for Windows Active Directory." Well, I didn't find out what that means nor a guide, but installing package freerdp works for me.

Find the FreeRDP Manual here. Otherworldy Windows command line syntax: xfreerdp /v:$SERV:$PORT /size:1920x1080 /u:$USER /p:$PASS /compression

See also Security Support Provider Interface, Credential Security Support Provider, How to Enable (and why not disable) Network Level Access for Windows RDP for background info.
