Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-69159: FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.29.0, planar_decompress_plane_rle and planar_decompress_plane_rle_only in libfreerdp/codec/planar.c verify that a control byte exists but do not verify that the source buffer contains the zero to fifteen raw bytes declared by that control byte. A malicious RDP server can send a truncated planar bitmap or surface update whose final control byte claims additional raw bytes, causing the decoder to read beyond pSrcData while processing a color plane. This can crash the client and may disclose adjacent memory. This issue is fixed in version 3.29.0. CVE-2026-68580: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains integer overflow vulnerabilities in the audio input redirection channel (audin) across ALSA, sndio, WinMM, and OpenSL ES backends that fail to validate the FramesPerPacket parameter from RDP servers. Attackers can supply a malicious FramesPerPacket value causing allocation size wraparound, resulting in heap-based buffer overflow on ALSA or denial of service on all platforms. CVE-2026-67306: FreeRDP versions 3.28.0 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the RDP6 planar RLE bitmap decoder functions planar_decompress_plane_rle and planar_decompress_plane_rle_only in libfreerdp/codec/planar.c. Only the 1-byte control byte is bounds-checked; the subsequent 0-15 attacker-declared raw bytes are read without validating that the source buffer contains them. A malicious or compromised RDP server can send a truncated planar-encoded bitmap or surface update (reachable via both the Bitmap Update PDU and RDPGFX Surface Command paths) that causes the client to read past the end of the source buffer. The issue is fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0. CVE-2026-67301: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for the PolygonSC and PolygonCB primary drawing orders. When AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g., xfreerdp /async-update), update_message_PolygonSC() and update_message_PolygonCB() allocate a fresh points array but copy point data from the address of the order structure instead of from polygonSC->points / polygonCB->points, resulting in a client-side out-of-bounds read. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending crafted PolygonSC/PolygonCB update orders can trigger memory disclosure or a client crash. CVE-2026-67300: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains client-side heap use-after-free vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for RAIL WINDOW_STATE_ORDER and NOTIFY_ICON_STATE_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled. When a malicious or compromised RDP server sends crafted update orders, the message proxy shallow-copies structures containing nested parser-owned pointers (e.g., titleInfo.string, windowRects, visibilityRects, icon buffers). The parser frees those nested buffers after the callback returns, so the queued async message later dispatches stale pointers, potentially causing memory corruption or a client crash. CVE-2026-67299: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update). In update_message_WindowIcon() a shallow CopyMemory() overwrites a freshly allocated lParam->iconInfo with the parser-owned windowIcon->iconInfo pointer. After the parser callback returns, update_recv_window_info_order() frees window_icon.iconInfo, but the queued async message still retains and later dispatches that stale pointer. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending a crafted RAIL Window Alternate Secondary Order with WINDOW_ORDER_ICON can trigger use-after-free, leading to memory corruption and client crash. CVE-2026-67298: FreeRDP versions 3.28.0 and earlier contain a heap buffer overflow in the server-side RAIL channel handler (rail_server_handle_messages() in channels/rail/server/rail_main.c). When processing a RAIL PDU header, the code subtracts RAIL_PDU_HEADER_LENGTH from the peer-controlled orderLength field without first verifying orderLength is at least the header length. For orderLength values 0..3 this causes an unsigned integer underflow to a very large size, which bypasses the Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity() capacity check (due to pointer arithmetic wraparound) and is then passed to WTSVirtualChannelRead(), resulting in an out-of-bounds heap write. A malicious or compromised RDP client can exploit this to corrupt the heap and crash the server. Fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0. CVE-2026-67295: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 fails to properly validate server-supplied RDPDR paths in drive redirection, allowing attackers to access prefix-sibling paths outside the configured shared root. A malicious RDP server can read, write, delete, and enumerate files in sibling directories by sending non-rooted paths that bypass the shared-root boundary check. CVE-2026-67294: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 improperly validates the Extended Key Usage (EKU) purpose of the peer certificate during client-side server TLS authentication. In x509_utils_verify(), when server-purpose (X509_PURPOSE_SSL_SERVER) verification fails, the code falls back to client-purpose and any-purpose verification, so a trusted, hostname-matching certificate valid only for clientAuth can be accepted as the RDP server certificate. In environments relying on EKU separation between client and server certificates, this allows a clientAuth-only certificate issued by a trusted CA to bypass server certificate purpose validation. CVE-2026-67293: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability. The TLS hostname matcher (tls_match_hostname() in libfreerdp/crypto/tls.c) treats a wildcard pattern such as *.example.com as matching any hostname ending in .example.com, so it incorrectly accepts a wildcard certificate for multi-label subdomains like a.b.example.com (which
