Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server can trigger a null pointer dereference in the `gdi_surface_bits` function by sending a specially crafted Surface Bits command that claims to use the NSCodec codec ID. This vulnerability exists even when the NSCodec is disabled in the client. Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to cause a FreeRDP client to crash, leading to a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-15 15:47:01 UTC
FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in gdi_surface_bits when processing Surface Bits commands with NSCodec codec ID. A malicious RDP server can crash a FreeRDP client by sending a crafted Surface Bits command claiming to use NSCodec, even when the codec is disabled.
