Description Adam Mariš 2017-07-26 09:11:50 UTC
An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the handling of challenge packets in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.

This vulnerability is located in the handling of security data function. The function reads a length value from the server packet. A malicious actor can send a specially crafted packet with a modified length value causing the client to crash and causing a denial of service condition.
