Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-08-05 13:28:51 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains a heap out-of-bounds read in update_process_glyph_fragments()/glyph_cache_fragment_put() in libfreerdp/cache/glyph.c. When handling a GLYPH_FRAGMENT_ADD update, the code reads a one-byte server-controlled declared fragment size but does not verify it fits within the remaining received buffer before allocating and copying that many bytes. A malicious RDP server can send a short fragment with an oversized declared size, causing the client to read beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in an out-of-bounds read and client crash.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
