Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. When serial device redirection is active, a malicious server can send a crafted device control request. If this request specifies an unsupported operation with a non-zero output buffer, it can cause the FreeRDP client process to unexpectedly terminate. This leads to a denial of service, preventing the client from maintaining its remote desktop connection.

Statement

This issue is classified as Moderate severity because exploitation requires serial device redirection to be active and a user connecting to a malicious server, where a crafted device control request triggers an application process crash resulting solely in a localized denial of service.
