Luxembourg, May 26th, 2021 - NoMachine makes available updated packages to fix some minor issues affecting earlier versions such as changing default limits for configuration keys regarding virtual desktop and connection numbers, and resizing the client on Windows which doesn't keep aspect ratio.

Additionally, this release prevents a vulnerability affecting SSH connections. Users connecting by SSH login have the possibility to change account and impersonate a different user which may lead to a possible privileges escalation. This occurs on all platforms when connecting by SSH and affects all server types which support the SSH protocol.

Included in version 7.6.2:

FR05S04179 - Making number of connections and virtual desktops unlimited by default
FR05S04180 - Changing default for the DisplayLimit key to unlimited

TR05S10250 - Possible local privileges escalation in connections by SSH protocol
TR04S10222 - It is not possible to keep aspect ratio when resizing the client on Windows
