CVE-2026-63117

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, an authenticated RDP client can advertise DVI ADPCM with nBlockAlign equal to 8 and nChannels equal to 2 to make the `bs` calculation in rdpsnd_server_select_format in channels/rdpsnd/server/rdpsnd_main.c equal zero. The subsequent out_frames modulo `bs` operation raises SIGFPE and terminates the server-side rdpsnd channel process. This vulnerability fixed in 3.28.0.

La operación subsiguiente de out_frames módulo ’bs’ genera SIGFPE y termina el proceso del canal rdpsnd del lado del servidor. Esta vulnerabilidad corregida en 3.28.0."
