FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains a divide-by-zero vulnerability in the rdpecam camera redirection client. ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request() parses a server-controlled CAM_MEDIA_TYPE_DESCRIPTION from a StartStreamsRequest PDU but validates only Format and Flags, not FrameRateDenominator. When a malicious or compromised RDP server sends a StartStreamsRequest with FrameRateDenominator set to zero, ecam_encoder_context_init() (channels/rdpecam/client/encoding.c) computes FrameRateNumerator / FrameRateDenominator, causing an integer division by zero (SIGFPE) and termination of the FreeRDP client process. Camera redirection must be enabled on the client for the channel to be reachable. Fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0.
AnalysisAI
Divide-by-zero in FreeRDP's rdpecam camera redirection channel allows a malicious or compromised RDP server to crash the connecting client process by sending a StartStreamsRequest PDU with FrameRateDenominator set to zero. All FreeRDP releases up to and including 3.28.0 are affected when camera redirection is enabled; exploitation delivers a reliable client-side denial-of-service (SIGFPE termination) with no code execution potential. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; this is a medium-severity availability issue patched in FreeRDP 3.29.0.
Technical ContextAI
FreeRDP implements the Microsoft RDP Extended Camera Redirection virtual channel (rdpecam) in channels/rdpecam/client/encoding.c. The function ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request() deserializes a CAM_MEDIA_TYPE_DESCRIPTION from a server-supplied StartStreamsRequest PDU. The code validates the Format and Flags fields but omits validation of FrameRateDenominator. When ecam_encoder_context_init() subsequently computes FrameRateNumerator / FrameRateDenominator with a denominator of zero, the C runtime raises SIGFPE (integer divide-by-zero), immediately terminating the process. The root cause is CWE-369 (Divide By Zero) - a missing input-bounds check on a server-controlled integer field. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:freerdp:freerdp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions before 3.29.0. The 'Information Disclosure' tag in the source intelligence appears to be a mis-categorization; the actual impact is exclusively availability (process crash).
RemediationAI
Upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.29.0 or later, which addresses the divide-by-zero by adding FrameRateDenominator validation in ecam_encoder_context_init(). Patch commits are available at https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/commit/1cc783d4c78bd2f66d3a8582dfe70a663d141444 and https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/commit/5370fb26fbf034ecd11d3026b6ad639b5fff493f, with the full advisory at https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-v89x-pc32-hqr7. Where immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the rdpecam camera redirection channel on all FreeRDP clients (/rdpecam:off or equivalent build/config flag); this fully eliminates the attack surface at the cost of losing camera pass-through functionality. Organizations that do not require camera redirection should disable it as a permanent hardening measure regardless of patch status. Connecting only to trusted, internally controlled RDP servers is an additional compensating control that limits exposure to the server-side trigger requirement.
