Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server can exploit a use-after-free vulnerability due to improper synchronization of channel callback access. By sending DYNVC_DATA and DYNVC_CLOSE messages concurrently, a race condition can be triggered in the drdynvc client thread, leading to heap-use-after-free. This could potentially enable remote code execution or cause a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-08 15:01:59 UTC
FreeRDP before 3.22.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in dvcman_channel_close and dvcman_call_on_receive due to improper synchronization of channel_callback access. A malicious RDP server can trigger a race condition by sending DYNVC_DATA and DYNVC_CLOSE messages concurrently, causing heap-use-after-free in the drdynvc client thread and potentially enabling remote code execution or denial of service.
