  • Medium 4.3

    FreeRDP before 3.32.2 Memory Exhaustion via Serial RDPDR Device Control

    FreeRDP before 3.32.2 fails to cap the OutputBufferLength in serial device-control IRP requests, allowing malicious servers to trigger excessive memory allocation. Attackers running a server with serial redirection can send an IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL request wi…

  • Medium 4.3

    FreeRDP before 3.32.2 Client Denial of Service via Zero-Output ZGFX Payload

    FreeRDP before 3.32.2 allows a client assertion abort because rdpgfx_on_data_received rejects only negative zgfx_decompress status and passes the resulting null output pointer to Stream_StaticConstInit. A malicious RDP server can send a zero-output ZGFX paylo…
