AFAICS there is not clear information on which issues are fixed exactly, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rdesktop-announce/czgpKDfm2D0 is a bit scarce on information. Probably if we are going to release a stretch-security update it might be worth doing an import of 1.8.6 for the security update itself and moving from 1.8.4-1~deb9u1 to the new upstream version.
