Summary
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a cross-thread use-after-free vulnerability in the freerdp-proxy dyn-channel-dump module during session teardown. A malicious RDP target can send dynamic channel data while the front client disconnects, letting the client thread read freed ChannelData and crash the proxy process.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can crash the proxy process, disrupting RDP brokering services. This may affect availability of remote access infrastructure.
Recommendation
Update FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later. Monitor proxy process stability and prioritize updates on brokering servers.
Other vulnerabilities in FreeRDP
See all- CVE-2026-23732High
FreeRDP before version 3.21.0 has a vulnerability in FastGlyph parsing where data length is not validated against the minimum size implied by cx/cy. A malicious server can trigger a client-side global buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS).
- CVE-2026-22856High
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a race in the serial channel IRP thread tracking allows a heap use‑after‑free when one thread removes an entry from serial->IrpThreads while another reads it. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.
- CVE-2013-4119High
FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta+2013071101 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by disconnecting before authentication has finished.
- CVE-2013-4118High
FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via NULL pointer dereference, leading to application crash.
- CVE-2014-0250High
Multiple integer overflows in client/X11/xf_graphics.c in FreeRDP allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via the width and height to the xf_Pointer_New or xf_Bitmap_Decompress function, which causes an incorrect amount of memory to be allocated.
- CVE-2026-121953Critical
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 has a use-after-free in the client's rdpgfx dynamic virtual channel: a duplicate-name channel with a new ChannelId overwrites the listener's single callback slot, which rdpgfx_on_close frees without clearing. A malicious RDP server can open and close such a channel, then send a PDU on the original channel to crash the client or potentially execute code.
- CVE-2026-121952Critical
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 has an out-of-bounds write in the proxy because rdp_read_bitmap_cache_v2_capability_set rejects only numCellCaches values above 5, yet the bitmap cache v2 cell array is later accessed at fixed indices 0 through 4. A client connecting to the proxy can declare fewer than five cell caches in its Confirm Active, causing heap corruption, heap data leakage to the backend, or a crash.
- CVE-2026-91949Critical
FreeRDP server versions before 3.31.0 contain a protocol negotiation bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to establish RDSTLS connections despite server policy disabling them. Attackers can send incompatible protocol requests, receive negotiation failures, then complete TLS handshake and enter RDSTLS to bypass pre-authentication transport restrictions.
- CVE-2026-63633Critical
In FreeRDP before 3.28.0, freerdp_dsp_decode_opus calls Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity on the context buffer even though opus_decode writes to the caller-supplied stream. A malicious RDP server negotiating WAVE_FORMAT_OPUS can cause large decoded frames to be written beyond the allocated buffer, leading to client heap corruption, crash, and potential code execution.
- CVE-2026-55194Critical
In FreeRDP before 3.27.0, rpc_client_recv_fragment ensures response reassembly stream capacity using only the server-declared alloc_hint rather than the actual StubLength. A malicious TS Gateway can send a response with a small alloc_hint and a much larger frag_length, causing a buffer overflow in the pdu->s buffer. This can crash the client and may permit code execution.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a cross-thread use-after-free vulnerability in the freerdp-proxy dyn-channel-dump module during session teardown. A malicious RDP target can send dynamic channel data while the front client disconnects, letting the client thread read freed ChannelData and crash the proxy process.
