Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-23884: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, offscreen bitmap deletion leaves `gdi->drawing` pointing to freed memory, causing UAF when related update packets arrive. A malicious server can trigger a client-side use after free, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23883: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, `xf_Pointer_New` frees `cursorPixels` on failure, then `pointer_free` calls `xf_Pointer_Free` and frees it again, triggering ASan UAF. A malicious server can trigger a client-side use after free, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23534: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side heap buffer overflow occurs in the ClearCodec bands decode path when crafted band coordinates allow writes past the end of the destination surface buffer. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23533: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side heap buffer overflow occurs in the RDPGFX ClearCodec decode path when maliciously crafted residual data causes out-of-bounds writes during color output. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23532: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side heap buffer overflow occurs in the FreeRDP client's `gdi_SurfaceToSurface` path due to a mismatch between destination rectangle clamping and the actual copy size. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23531: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, in ClearCodec, when `glyphData` is present, `clear_decompress` calls `freerdp_image_copy_no_overlap` without validating the destination rectangle, allowing an out-of-bounds read/write via crafted RDPGFX surface updates. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. CVE-2026-23530: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0,`freerdp_bitmap_decompress_planar` does not validate `nSrcWidth`/`nSrcHeight` against `planar->maxWidth`/`maxHeight` before RLE decode. A malicious server can trigger a client-side heap buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code-execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
