Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server or a man-in-the-middle attacker could exploit a heap buffer overflow vulnerability during connection negotiation, prior to authentication. By sending a specially crafted Server Redirection PDU (Protocol Data Unit) with an oversized LB_LOAD_BALANCE_INFO field, an attacker could cause a denial of service or heap corruption on the client system.
