AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in FreeRDP (the widely used open-source RDP client library) allows a malicious or compromised RDP server to corrupt client memory and potentially achieve remote code execution in the connecting client's context. The flaw lives in the primary drawing-order parser (update_read_delta_points in libfreerdp/core/orders.c), where an inverted integer-overflow guard let an attacker-controlled point count produce an undersized heap allocation followed by an out-of-bounds write. …
