Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
AnyDesk through 8.1.0 on Windows, when Allow Direct Connections is enabled, inadvertently exposes a public IP address within network traffic. The attacker must know the victim's AnyDesk ID.
