Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. The smartcard emulation backend accepts a null per-reader name in SCardGetStatusChange requests. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted reader-state entry with a null szReader, causing strcmp or _wcscmp to crash the client process. This issue affects FreeRDP 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 when smartcard emulation is enabled.
