DescriptionCVE.org

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard device control request cleanup when reader-state decoding fails. Attackers can send malformed smartcard IRP requests with non-zero cReaders and truncated reader-state data to crash the process via null pointer access in free_reader_states functions.

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in FreeRDP's smartcard virtual channel allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the process by sending malformed smartcard IRP (I/O Request Packet) requests. All FreeRDP releases before 3.29.0 are affected: crafting an IRP with a non-zero cReaders field but truncated reader-state payload causes the decoder to fail, after which the free_reader_states cleanup function dereferences a null pointer and terminates the session. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The FreeRDP smartcard virtual channel must be active during session negotiation - this channel is enabled by default in many FreeRDP builds when a smartcard reader is present or when smartcard redirection is not explicitly disabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) places this at the highest accessibility tier: network-reachable, low complexity, no authentication, no user interaction. … 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 3.29.0 or later, which incorporates the fix in commit 1cc783d4c78bd2f66d3a8582dfe70a663d141444 (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/commit/1cc783d4c78bd2f66d3a8582dfe70a663d141444); the full vendor advisory is at https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-78jj-45vh-jpm5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit your environment to identify all systems running FreeRDP and document current versions in use. …
