Alpine Linux: freerdp fixed in 3.27.1-r0
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in FreeRDP's Remote Desktop Gateway RPC client allows a malicious or attacker-controlled gateway server to corrupt heap memory on a connecting client, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution. The flaw resides in libfreerdp/core/gateway/rpc_client.c, where stream capacity was sized against a server-supplied alloc_hint value rather than the actual stub data length, enabling a server to induce an undersized allocation followed by an out-of-bounds write. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target must be running FreeRDP prior to version 3.27.0 and must route their RDP session through an RDP Gateway (RDG/RPC-over-HTTP) - standard direct RDP connections that bypass the gateway code path are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with full client-side impact, tempered only by the UI:P requirement that the victim user actively initiate an RDP gateway session. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.27.0 or later; Alpine Linux users should update the freerdp package to 3.27.1-r0 or later via the standard apk upgrade mechanism. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory FreeRDP installations and identify systems running versions prior to 3.27.0 (upstream) or 3.27.1-r0 (Alpine Linux). …
