Description
A flaw was found in FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs in the xf_AppUpdateWindowFromSurface function where a bare pointer to a window is obtained without proper lifetime protection. A remote attacker could exploit this by concurrently deleting the window while it is being accessed, leading to a read from freed memory. This could result in a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.
