Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the FreeRDP client. A malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server can exploit an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the RDPGFX channel. By sending a specially crafted WIRE_TO_SURFACE_2 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) with a `bitmapDataLength` value exceeding the actual data, an attacker can read uninitialized heap memory. This can lead to sensitive information disclosure or cause the client to crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-25 21:04:36 UTC
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Versions on the 2.x branch prior to to 2.11.8 and on the 3.x branch prior to 3.23.0 have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the FreeRDP client's RDPGFX channel that allows a malicious RDP server to read uninitialized heap memory by sending a crafted WIRE_TO_SURFACE_2 PDU with a `bitmapDataLength` value larger than the actual data in the packet. This can lead to information disclosure or client crashes when a user connects to a malicious server. Versions 2.11.8 and 3.23.0 fix the issue.
