Description

A heap based buffer overflow has been discovered in FreeRDP. This heap-buffer-overflow occurs in drive read when a server-controlled read length is used to read file data into an IRP output stream buffer without a hard upper bound, allowing an oversized read to overwrite heap memory.

Statement

Red Hat products in their default configuration employ Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) which drastically increases the complexity of the successful exploitation of this flaw.
