Release notes for xrdp v0.10.6 (2026/04/17)

General announcements

If you like xrdp, please consider sponsoring or donating to the project. We accept financial contributions through Open Collective, and direct donations to individual developers via GitHub Sponsors are also welcome.

• [V0.10.3] Experimental support for utmp/wtmp file is provided in this release. If you use this, be aware that these files are only updated when an xrdp session is created or destroyed. Disconnections and reconnections to the same session are not tracked. In particular:
  • the FROM address for a client (as shown by the w command) reflects the IP address of the client at the time of creation, and not the address of the currently connected client.
  • Sessions started by the xrdp-sesrun command do not have a FROM address.
• The use_vsock parameter in xrdp.ini is deprecated. Use 'port=vsock://' instead.

Changes for users

None

Changes for packagers or developers

• (from v0.10.3) The --enable-utmp needs to be added to enable UTMP support.
• (from v0.10.3) The config file subdirectory (xrdp part of /etc/xrdp) can now be configured ([v0.10] Allow to change config file (sub)directory #3369)
• (from v0.10.3) Packagers using TigerVNC to provide the Xvnc backend may wish to configure the 'Xvnc over UDS' session type as a default by using a code=1 line in xrdp.ini. Instructions are provided in the released xrdp.ini file.
• The unfinished PIV smartcard support is now disabled by default, but can be re-enabled by adding --enable-smartcard to the configure command. Because of possible security issues with this code, this should only be done by developers working in non-production environments ([V0.10] Disable smartcard code by default #3759)

This discussion was created from the release xrdp v0.10.6.

The "New features" xorgxrdp auto-links have resolved to xrdp pull request IDs, which doesn't quite look correct.

Hi there, I assume the v0.9.x versions are not affected by those CVEs?

[matt335672]

V0.9.x is now EOL. Not only are we not fixing it, but the vulnerabilities which are in it are not being scanned for. Please move to v0.10.x

[saddy001]

Oh I see. So maybe you should reword the section:

General announcements
xrdp v0.9.x is end-of-life. New releases may happen when severe security vulnerabilities or critical bugs are found.

[matt335672]

Yes - I think you're right.
