Summary

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability. The TLS hostname matcher treats a wildcard pattern such as *.example.com as matching any hostname ending in .example.com, incorrectly accepting a wildcard certificate for multi-label subdomains like a.b.example.com.

Risk Assessment

This weakens TLS server authentication under wildcard-certificate conditions, potentially enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recommendation

Update FreeRDP to version 3.29.0 or later, which includes the fix for hostname validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability. The TLS hostname matcher (tls_match_hostname() in libfreerdp/crypto/tls.c) treats a wildcard pattern such as *.example.com as matching any hostname ending in .example.com, so it incorrectly accepts a wildcard certificate for multi-label subdomains like a.b.example.com (which OpenSSL's X509_check_host() rejects). This weakens TLS server authentication under wildcard-certificate conditions.
