Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side heap buffer overflow occurs in the ClearCodec bands decode path when crafted band coordinates allow writes past the end of the destination surface buffer. A malicious server can trigger a client‑side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code‑execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
Analysis
FreeRDP prior to 3.21.0 contains a client-side heap buffer overflow in session data processing, the fifth in a series of seven critical heap overflows fixed in version 3.21.0.
