Description

A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A remote attacker can exploit a buffer over-read vulnerability within the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) gateway transport parser by sending a malicious BIND_ACK Protocol Data Unit (PDU) with a truncated result entry. This can lead to a process abort, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
