Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. This double free vulnerability occurs during the cleanup process when a remote desktop session disconnects. Specifically, if a title allocation fails, a pointer to an application window is freed but not removed from a tracking table. Later, during disconnection, the same pointer is freed again, which can lead to a crash and result in a denial of service.
