Security Vulnerabilities
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server's remdesk_server_thread that allows authenticated clients to crash the process via an inverted PDU length check. Attackers can send an 8192-byte remdesk payload declaring an eight-byte PDU length to trigger a fatal Stream_Seek assertion, aborting the server and dropping sessions.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a use-after-free in the urbdrc USB redirection channel because FindChannelById returns a channel pointer without a reference and the control-channel close path does not take the device manager's loading_lock. A malicious RDP server can send a control-channel CLOSE_REQUEST while the client announces a USB device, freeing the channel before the announcement thread reads channel->Write and crashing the client.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows malicious servers or unauthenticated peers to abort clients or proxies via oversized X.224 routing tokens. Attackers can send an oversized LoadBalanceInfo in a Server Redirection PDU, or a 240–247 byte token to a FixedTarget freerdp-proxy, triggering a tpdu_write_header assertion that crashes the process.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the RDPGFX ALPHA WIRETOSURFACE_2 handler that fails to validate zero surface dimensions. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted WIRETOSURFACE_2 PDU with zero width and height, triggering an assertion or division by zero that terminates the client session.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a memory allocation vulnerability in rdg_receive_packet that allows a malicious RD Gateway to force a 2 GiB client allocation before tunnel authentication. Attackers can send an eight-byte RDG header declaring packet length 0x7FFFFFFF to trigger pre-authentication memory exhaustion and denial of service.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in rdg_process_control_packet that allows a malicious RD Gateway to exhaust client CPU by sending an incomplete keepalive control packet. Attackers completing the RDG tunnel-open exchange then send an eight-byte header with packetLength 0xFFFF and withhold the body, causing an unbounded no-progress read loop that spins one client thread at full CPU.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability where rdg_process_packet dispatches a PKT_TYPE_EXTENDED_AUTH_MSG without verifying negotiated mode or auth context. A malicious or compromised RD Gateway can send the extended-auth packet before tunnel authentication, triggering a null-pointer dereference that crashes the client.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability that allows malicious RDP servers to crash xfreerdp clients by sending a zero-width RDPGFX ResetGraphics PDU. The failed resize in gdi_resize_ex leaves the primary display null without ending the session, so a later bitmap update crashes the client in gdi_Bitmap_Paint.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability where a malformed drive DEVICE_IOREQUEST with a truncated IRP_MJ_CREATE body silently kills the drive worker. A malicious RDP server can send such an IRP then post further requests that accumulate unbounded in the IrpQueue, exhausting memory and causing session availability loss.

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server that allows authenticated RDP clients to spin server threads by sending zero-length drdynvc DATA PDUs. Attackers can send empty DATA messages on opened audin or rdpgfx channels, so that FreeRDP_WTSVirtualChannelRead never consumes them, consuming full CPU cores until disconnect.
