Description
A heap based buffer overflow has been discovered in FreeRDP. In affected versions the URBDRC client does not perform bounds checking on server‑supplied MSUSB_INTERFACE_DESCRIPTOR values and uses them as indices in libusb_udev_complete_msconfig_setup, causing an out‑of‑bounds read.
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.
