Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. When a user connects to a malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server, the server can trigger an invalid smartcard connect operation, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability where previously released memory is accessed. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) through an application crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-13 13:59:16 UTC
FreeRDP from 3.0.0-beta1 before 3.32.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in smartcard handling that allows attackers to access a freed smartcard handle object after an invalid connect operation. Attackers can trigger an invalid smartcard connect operation to cause reuse of the freed handle, leading to memory corruption or crashes.
