FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in gdi_surface_bits when processing Surface Bits commands with NSCodec codec ID. A malicious RDP server can crash a FreeRDP client by sending a crafted Surface Bits command claiming to use NSCodec, even when the codec is disabled.
AnalysisAI
FreeRDP clients before 3.31.0 crash when a malicious RDP server sends a crafted Surface Bits command advertising the NSCodec codec ID — the GDI surface-bits handler dereferences a NULL decoder pointer instead of rejecting the unsupported codec. The victim only has to initiate an RDP session to an attacker-controlled or compromised server; the outcome is a client-side denial of service (application crash), with no memory corruption, code execution, or data exposure reported. …
