Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server can send specially crafted AVC444 graphics updates. This can cause the pool_decode_rect function to enter an infinite loop when decoding AVC444 metablocks with an excessive number of region rectangles. The vulnerability leads to a denial of service (DoS) by consuming CPU resources and preventing normal client operation.
