Summary

FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol, prior to version 3.30.0 has a vulnerability in the kerberos_DecryptMessage function that fails to bound the peer-controlled GSS Wrap-token EC field before using it with RRC in IOV pointer offsets. A malicious RDP peer can trigger out-of-bounds reads and in-place writes during CredSSP/NLA Kerberos decryption.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access or execute code in the context of the FreeRDP process, potentially leading to RDP session compromise.

Recommendation

Update FreeRDP to version 3.30.0 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict access to RDP services and monitor for unusual activity.

Original NVD description (English source)

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.30.0, FreeRDP's winpr/libwinpr/sspi/Kerberos/kerberos.c kerberos_DecryptMessage function fails to bound the peer-controlled GSS Wrap-token EC field before using it with RRC in IOV pointer offsets, allowing a malicious RDP peer to trigger out-of-bounds reads and in-place writes during CredSSP/NLA Kerberos decryption. This issue is fixed in version 3.30.0.
