Description
A heap based buffer overflow flaw has been discovered in FreeRDP. A client-side heap buffer overflow occurs in the FreeRDP client's AVC420/AVC444 YUV-to-RGB conversion path due to missing horizontal bounds validation of H.264 metablock regionRects coordinates. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow (WRITE of 16 bytes via SSE), causing a crash (DoS) and heap corruption. The attacker controls the offset via the left coordinate, potentially enabling arbitrary write to adjacent heap objects with code-execution risk depending on allocator layout.
