FreeRDP before 3.28.0 (affected 3.x through 3.27.1) contains a double-free vulnerability in freerdp_client_rdp_file_apply_to_settings() (client/common/file.c) when parsing the selectedmonitors field of a .rdp connection file. The MonitorIds array is allocated through the settings object, and a raw non-owning pointer to it is freed on the strtoul error path without clearing settings->MonitorIds, leaving it dangling; at teardown freerdp_settings_free() frees the same buffer again. An attacker who convinces a victim to open a crafted .rdp file with oversized monitor tokens can trigger a size-controlled double-free in any FreeRDP CLI client (xfreerdp/sdl-freerdp/wlfreerdp) in the default configuration.
AnalysisAI
Client-side double-free (CWE-415) in FreeRDP's .rdp connection-file parser lets an attacker who tricks a victim into opening a malicious .rdp file corrupt heap memory, potentially leading to a crash or code execution in xfreerdp/sdl-freerdp/wlfreerdp. The flaw is in freerdp_client_rdp_file_apply_to_settings() (client/common/file.c), where a non-owning pointer to the settings-owned MonitorIds array is freed on a strtoul error path without clearing settings->MonitorIds, so freerdp_settings_free() frees the same buffer again at teardown. All 3.x releases through 3.27.1 are affected in the default configuration and it is fixed in 3.28.0; there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was provided.
