Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.24.2, a double-free vulnerability in kerberos_AcceptSecurityContext() and kerberos_InitializeSecurityContextA() (WinPR, winpr/libwinpr/sspi/Kerberos/kerberos.c) can cause a crash in any FreeRDP clients on systems where Kerberos and/or Kerberos U2U is configured (Samba AD member, or krb5 for NFS). The crash is triggered during NLA connection teardown and requires a failed authentication attempt. This issue has been patched in version 3.24.2.
Analysis
FreeRDP prior to version 3.24.2 contains a double-free vulnerability in Kerberos authentication handling that crashes FreeRDP clients during NLA connection teardown following failed authentication attempts on systems with Kerberos configured. The vulnerability affects all versions before 3.24.2 across multiple Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu) and requires network access but no authentication credentials, presenting a denial-of-service vector against RDP clients in enterprise environments using Kerberos or Kerberos U2U authentication. …
