Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs because the `xf_AppUpdateWindowFromSurface` function reuses a cached image whose data pointer references a freed RDPGFX surface buffer. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-25 21:03:37 UTC
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, `xf_AppUpdateWindowFromSurface` reuses a cached `XImage` whose `data` pointer references a freed RDPGFX surface buffer, because `gdi_DeleteSurface` frees `surface->data` without invalidating the `appWindow->image` that aliases it. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
