Summary

In FreeRDP prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP client can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in the server-side clipboard (cliprdr) channel by sending a CB_CLIP_CAPS PDU with a too-small capabilitySetLength. This can crash the server process (remote DoS) and may be exploitable for code execution.

Risk Assessment

A remote attack can crash the RDP server or allow code execution in the server context, posing a serious threat to service availability and integrity.

Recommendation

Upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.26.0 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP client can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in FreeRDP's server-side clipboard (cliprdr) channel by sending a CB_CLIP_CAPS PDU with a too-small capabilitySetLength. This can crash the server process (remote DoS) and may be exploitable for code execution because it corrupts heap memory. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.
