Description
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger out-of-bounds memory access by crafting a malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection file. When a user opens this file, the FreeRDP client fails to properly validate array values, leading to a heap buffer overflow. This can result in a denial of service, causing the application to crash, and potentially lead to information disclosure or arbitrary code execution.
