Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-06-04 18:11:15 UTC
In FreeRDP before 2.1.0, there is an out-of-bounds read in cliprdr_read_format_list. Clipboard format data read (by client or server) might read data out-of-bounds. This has been fixed in 2.1.0.

Comment 2 Todd Cullum 2020-06-05 00:20:28 UTC
Note that the flaw in the files reported for this CVE does not exist in any Red Hat Enterprise Linux version. However, the flaw exists instead in cliprdr_process_format_list() in client/cliprdr_main.c and cliprdr_server_receive_format_list() in server/cliprdr_main.c for FreeRDP-2.0.0-rc4. This version is shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. freerdp 1.0.2, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is significantly different and this flaw does not appear to exist there. The issue is that the code:

		while (dataLen)
		{
			Stream_Read_UINT32(s, formats[index].formatId); /* formatId (4 bytes) */
			dataLen -= 4;

			formats[index].formatName = NULL;

if dataLen is less than 4, an out-of-bounds read is possible.

Comment 4 Todd Cullum 2020-06-05 00:38:33 UTC
Mitigation:

To mitigate this flaw in vulnerable versions, clipboard support should be disabled for freerdp sessions.
