Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-19 18:17:47 UTC 
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, freerdp_dsp_decode_opus in libfreerdp/codec/dsp.c calls Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity on context->common.buffer even though opus_decode writes decoded PCM into the caller-supplied out stream. A malicious RDP server that negotiates WAVE_FORMAT_OPUS with a client built with WITH_OPUS enabled and WITH_DSP_FFMPEG disabled can make libopus write a large decoded frame beyond the 4096-byte StreamPool_Take destination used by channels/rdpsnd/client/rdpsnd_main.c. This can corrupt the client heap, crash the client, and may permit code execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.
