Description
A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in FreeRDP allows an unauthenticated, malicious RDP server to cause a Denial of Service. By sending a specially crafted glyph fragment update, the server forces the client to read beyond its allocated memory, crashing the application.
Statement
A Moderate heap out-of-bounds read in FreeRDP affects Red Hat products by allowing an untrusted RDP server to remotely crash a connecting client without authentication, resulting in a loss of application availability.
CVSS score applicability
The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, avoid connecting FreeRDP clients to untrusted or potentially malicious RDP servers. If such connections are required, run the client on a dedicated, isolated system so a client crash is contained and does not impact other workloads.
