Summary

FreeRDP before version 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard cache request decoders. When smartcard emulation is enabled, attackers can send crafted requests with a NULL pointer, causing strlen() on NULL and client process termination.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can crash the FreeRDP client, potentially disrupting sessions and enabling further attacks.

Recommendation

Update FreeRDP to version 3.29.0 or later, and consider disabling smartcard emulation if not needed.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard cache request decoders that accept NULL NDR pointers for LookupName in SCARD_IOCTL_READCACHEA and SCARD_IOCTL_WRITECACHEA operations. When smartcard emulation is enabled, attackers can send crafted smartcard cache requests with NULL lookup-name pointers to trigger strlen() on a null pointer, causing client process termination.
