Freerdp: >> Freerdp Security Vulnerabilities
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in nego_send_negotiation_request() that fails to validate the LB_LOAD_BALANCE_INFO field length before writing to a fixed 512-byte buffer. A malicious RDP server or man-in-the-middle can send a Server Redirection PDU with an oversized LB_LOAD_BALANCE_INFO value to overflow the buffer with attacker-controlled content, causing denial of service or heap corruption before authentication completes.

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in gdi_surface_bits when processing Surface Bits commands with NSCodec codec ID. A malicious RDP server can crash a FreeRDP client by sending a crafted Surface Bits command claiming to use NSCodec, even when the codec is disabled.

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.

FreeRDP server versions before 3.31.0 contain a protocol negotiation bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to establish RDSTLS connections despite server policy disabling them. Attackers can send incompatible protocol requests, receive negotiation failures, then complete TLS handshake and enter RDSTLS to bypass pre-authentication transport restrictions.

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the rdpdr_dump_packet function due to 32-bit unsigned integer wraparound in buffer bounds validation. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted RDPDR packet with computerNameLen set to 0xFFFFFFF0 to bypass bounds checks and trigger memory reads past the packet buffer, causing client crashes or heap disclosure in logs.

FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the RDPGFX server's ResetGraphics PDU serializer that fails to initialize padding bytes in the fixed 340-byte wire format. Attackers can receive uninitialized heap memory including live pointers and GLib function addresses transmitted in the PDU, defeating heap ASLR and disclosing the GLib module base address.

FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in smartcard response decoders that fail to validate ATR length fields against fixed inline arrays. Authenticated RDP clients can send oversized ATR lengths in PAKID_CORE_DEVICE_IOCOMPLETION responses to trigger reads past stack or heap objects, causing process termination.

FreeRDP versions 3.0.0 through 3.30.0 (before 3.31.0) transmit uninitialized heap memory in Save Session Info PDU reserved padding fields. Three PDU writers in libfreerdp/core/info.c (rdp_write_logon_info_v2, rdp_write_logon_info_plain, and rdp_write_logon_info_ex) use Stream_Seek instead of Stream_Zero for reserved pad bytes (up to 576 bytes), leaving previously freed heap contents in the outgoing PDU. Because the send buffer is allocated with malloc (not zeroed), stale heap data — which may include cleartext credentials from prior sessions — can be sent to the receiving peer. FreeRDP-based servers using rdpUpdate::SaveSessionInfo and freerdp-proxy (which forwards these PDUs) are affected, allowing disclosure of server/proxy process memory to a downstream client.

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the general_ChromaV1ToYUV444 function during AVC444 chroma plane reconstruction. A malicious RDP server can craft a RFX_AVC444_BITMAP_STREAM with specific frame geometry to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read past the allocated luma plane.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, freerdp_dsp_decode_opus in libfreerdp/codec/dsp.c calls Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity on context->common.buffer even though opus_decode writes decoded PCM into the caller-supplied out stream. A malicious RDP server that negotiates WAVE_FORMAT_OPUS with a client built with WITH_OPUS enabled and WITH_DSP_FFMPEG disabled can make libopus write a large decoded frame beyond the 4096-byte StreamPool_Take destination used by channels/rdpsnd/client/rdpsnd_main.c. This can corrupt the client heap, crash the client, and may permit code execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.
