Freerdp: >> Freerdp >> 3.1.0 Security Vulnerabilities
FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for the PolygonSC and PolygonCB primary drawing orders. When AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g., xfreerdp /async-update), update_message_PolygonSC() and update_message_PolygonCB() allocate a fresh points array but copy point data from the address of the order structure instead of from polygonSC->points / polygonCB->points, resulting in a client-side out-of-bounds read. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending crafted PolygonSC/PolygonCB update orders can trigger memory disclosure or a client crash.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains a divide-by-zero vulnerability in the rdpecam camera redirection client. ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request() parses a server-controlled CAM_MEDIA_TYPE_DESCRIPTION from a StartStreamsRequest PDU but validates only Format and Flags, not FrameRateDenominator. When a malicious or compromised RDP server sends a StartStreamsRequest with FrameRateDenominator set to zero, ecam_encoder_context_init() (channels/rdpecam/client/encoding.c) computes FrameRateNumerator / FrameRateDenominator, causing an integer division by zero (SIGFPE) and termination of the FreeRDP client process. Camera redirection must be enabled on the client for the channel to be reachable. Fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard device control request cleanup when reader-state decoding fails. Attackers can send malformed smartcard IRP requests with non-zero cReaders and truncated reader-state data to crash the process via null pointer access in free_reader_states functions.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains a heap out-of-bounds read in update_process_glyph_fragments()/glyph_cache_fragment_put() in libfreerdp/cache/glyph.c. When handling a GLYPH_FRAGMENT_ADD update, the code reads a one-byte server-controlled declared fragment size but does not verify it fits within the remaining received buffer before allocating and copying that many bytes. A malicious RDP server can send a short fragment with an oversized declared size, causing the client to read beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in an out-of-bounds read and client crash.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a buffer over-disclosure vulnerability in the gateway WebSocket transport (libfreerdp/core/gateway/websocket.c). The client's Pong reply reuses a fixed 1024-byte response stream whose length is not sealed to the actual received Ping payload, so a malicious gateway/WebSocket peer sending a non-empty Ping control frame causes the client to reply with an overlong Pong that discloses bytes beyond the received payload (the peer receives the masking key and can unmask the reply). A zero-length Ping reaches an assertion and terminates the client (denial of service).

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 improperly validates the Extended Key Usage (EKU) purpose of the peer certificate during client-side server TLS authentication. In x509_utils_verify(), when server-purpose (X509_PURPOSE_SSL_SERVER) verification fails, the code falls back to client-purpose and any-purpose verification, so a trusted, hostname-matching certificate valid only for clientAuth can be accepted as the RDP server certificate. In environments relying on EKU separation between client and server certificates, this allows a clientAuth-only certificate issued by a trusted CA to bypass server certificate purpose validation.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the RDPEI server channel handler that fails to validate maximum PDU body length before stream allocation. A malicious RDP client can send a header-only RDPEI message with a large declared body length to force excessive memory allocation on the server.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 fails to enforce the RESPONSE_SIZE_LIMIT when processing Transfer-Encoding: chunked HTTP responses in http_response_recv_body(). Attackers controlling a malicious RD Gateway endpoint can send oversized chunked response bodies to exhaust client memory resources without triggering the configured size limit.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the UVC H.264 extension-unit parser that fails to validate descriptor length before accessing the GUID field. A local attacker with a malicious USB video camera can trigger a heap read beyond allocated bounds during camera stream setup, causing denial of service.

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.
