Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.24.2, in yuv_ensure_buffer() in libfreerdp/codec/h264.c, h264->width and h264->height are updated before the reallocation loop. If any winpr_aligned_recalloc() call fails, the function returns FALSE but width/height are already inflated. This issue has been patched in version 3.24.2.
Analysis
Heap buffer overflow in FreeRDP's H.264 YUV decoder (versions before 3.24.2) allows remote attackers to potentially achieve code execution via specially crafted RDP sessions. The vulnerability stems from premature dimension updates in yuv_ensure_buffer() that persist when memory reallocation fails, creating exploitable memory corruption conditions. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running FreeRDP versions before 3.24.2 using software asset tools or package managers (rpm/dpkg queries). Within 7 days: Isolate or restrict RDP access from untrusted sources via firewall rules; notify users to avoid connecting to unverified RDP servers. …
