Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). A malicious RDP server can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted audio data in IMA ADPCM format with an invalid initial step index value. This unvalidated input can cause the FreeRDP client to crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected users. This issue impacts FreeRDP clients with audio redirection (RDPSND) enabled, which is the default configuration.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-30 22:02:11 UTC
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.24.2, a malicious RDP server can crash the FreeRDP client by sending audio data in IMA ADPCM format with an invalid initial step index value (>= 89). The unvalidated step index is read directly from the network and used to index into a 89-entry lookup table, triggering a WINPR_ASSERT() failure and process abort via SIGABRT. This affects any FreeRDP client that has audio redirection (RDPSND) enabled, which is the default configuration. This issue has been patched in version 3.24.2.
