Summary
A heap-based buffer overflow in FreeRDP before version 3.28.0 (affected <=3.27.1) in the crypto_rsa_common() function. The function writes the modular exponentiation result to the output buffer before checking bounds, allowing out-of-bounds writes.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can send a forged ciphertext that, when decrypted, overflows the 32-byte heap buffer by up to ~224 bytes, causing denial of service.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.28.0 or later, which fixes this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in FreeRDP
See all- CVE-2026-91964High
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain a heap-based buffer overflow in nego_send_negotiation_request when processing Server Redirection PDU messages with attacker-controlled LoadBalanceInfo fields. A malicious RDP server can trigger the overflow by sending an arbitrary-length field that gets written to a fixed 512-byte buffer without validation, causing client crashes or potential code execution when chained with memory disclosure.
- CVE-2026-91963Medium
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an uninitialized heap memory disclosure vulnerability in the urbdrc USB redirection channel. A malicious RDP server can induce failing USB transfers to read uninitialized heap memory from the client, defeating ASLR and enabling remote code execution when chained with memory corruption vulnerabilities.
- CVE-2026-91962Medium
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains an integer overflow in the audin Apple backends when processing FramesPerPacket values from MSG_SNDIN_OPEN messages. Attackers can supply crafted FramesPerPacket values that cause AudioQueueAllocateBuffer size computation to wrap, resulting in undersized buffer allocation and potential out-of-bounds access.
- CVE-2026-91961Medium
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in the URBDRC control-transfer request path that fails to validate OutputBufferSize before forwarding to the libusb backend. A malicious RDP server can send a control-transfer request with OutputBufferSize set to 65536, triggering a reachable assertion that terminates the client process.
- CVE-2026-91960Medium
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an integer overflow in WinPR's Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity function that allows remote attackers to cause denial of service. A malicious RD Gateway peer can send a WebSocket Ping frame with a crafted 64-bit extended payload length to trigger integer wraparound, resulting in a double free that crashes the FreeRDP client during connection.
- CVE-2026-91959Medium
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a buffer over-read vulnerability in the rts_read_result function within the RPC gateway transport parser. Attackers can send a malicious BIND_ACK PDU with a truncated result entry to trigger an out-of-bounds read causing process abort.
- CVE-2026-91958Medium
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 fail to validate MonitorIds array values when parsing RDP connection files, allowing unbounded array indexing in xf_detect_monitors. Attackers can craft a malicious RDP file with an out-of-range selectedmonitors value to trigger out-of-bounds heap read and write operations when opened in xfreerdp.
- CVE-2026-91957Low
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the smartcard RDPDR device handler when worker thread creation fails after device registration. An attacker can trigger thread creation failure during channel setup, causing device pointer deallocation while devman retains a reference, leading to crash or code execution.
- CVE-2026-91956Medium
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the URBDRC channel's func_get_ep_desc function that indexes interface arrays by position instead of protocol field InterfaceNumber. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted SELECT_CONFIGURATION message with permuted InterfaceNumber values to read past allocated heap memory and crash the client.
- CVE-2026-91955High
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 fails to validate client-supplied DesktopWidth and DesktopHeight values during GCC negotiation, allowing remote attackers to crash the server. Attackers can send crafted RDP packets with zero or oversized dimensions to trigger division-by-zero or assertion failures in multifragment update capability calculations, terminating the server process.
Original NVD description (English source)
FreeRDP before 3.28.0 (affected <=3.27.1) contains a heap-based buffer overflow in crypto_rsa_common() (libfreerdp/crypto/crypto.c). The function writes the modular-exponentiation result into the caller's output buffer via BN_bn2bin() and only afterward checks output_length > out_length, so out-of-bounds bytes are written before the bounds check. On the server side, when a client selects RDP Standard Security, the encrypted client random is decrypted into a fixed 32-byte buffer. Because the server publishes its RSA public key, an unauthenticated attacker can forge a ciphertext whose decrypted value is up to the full modulus length (e.g. 256 bytes for RSA-2048), overflowing the 32-byte heap buffer by up to ~224 attacker-controlled bytes pre-authentication, resulting in denial of service.
