Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. This vulnerability allows a malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the connected client. When a user connects to an attacker-controlled server with RemoteFX decoding enabled, the server can transmit a specially crafted graphics stream. This triggers an internal assertion failure in the decoder, causing the client application to terminate abruptly.

Statement

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A remote attacker controlling an RDP server can cause a connected FreeRDP client to crash via a crafted packet triggering an assertion failure in the RemoteFX decoder, resulting in a denial of service. The user must connect to an attacker-controlled server and RemoteFX must be enabled.
