CVE-2026-63652
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, rdpsnd_server_recv_formats in channels/rdpsnd/server/rdpsnd_main.c frees context->client_formats on a malformed Client Audio Formats PDU without clearing the owning pointer or num_client_formats. An authenticated RDP client can trigger an error such as a cbSize larger than the remaining record, leave the dangling pointer in the server context, and cause rdpsnd_server_context_free to free the same allocation again at session teardown. This reliably terminates the server and can create allocator-dependent heap corruption. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.

"value": "FreeRDP es una implementación gratuita del Protocolo de Escritorio Remoto. Antes de la versión 3.28.0, rdpsnd_server_recv_formats en channels/rdpsnd/server/rdpsnd_main.c libera context -> client_formats en una PDU de Formatos de Audio de Cliente malformada sin borrar el puntero propietario o num_client_formats. Un cliente RDP autenticado puede desencadenar un error como un cbSize mayor que el registro restante, dejar el puntero colgante en el contexto del servidor y hacer que rdpsnd_server_context_free libere la misma asignación de nuevo al finalizar la sesión. Esto termina de forma fiable el servidor y puede crear corrupción de pila dependiente del asignador. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 3.28.0."
