Description Marian Rehak 2023-09-01 11:45:18 UTC

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Affected versions are subject to an Out-Of-Bounds Read in the `RleDecompress` function. This Out-Of-Bounds Read occurs because FreeRDP processes the `pbSrcBuffer` variable without checking if it contains data of sufficient length. Insufficient data in the `pbSrcBuffer` variable may cause errors or crashes. This issue has been addressed in version 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

The upstream report says that this vulnerability affects just version 3. But freerdp 3 isn't included in Fedora, or RHEL. So I think that this can be closed, can't be?
