CVE-2026-67303: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 Denial of Service via serial DeviceControl

Published Aug 1, 2026
·
Updated

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a reachable assertion (WINPRASSERT(OutputBufferLength == BytesReturned)) in serialprocessirpdevicecontrol() in channels/serial/client/serialmain.c. When serial device redirection is enabled and a server-controlled IRPMJDEVICECONTROL request specifies an unsupported IOCTL with a non-zero OutputBufferLength, CommDeviceIoControl() can fail with BytesReturned = 0, causing the mismatch to trigger the assertion and abort the client process (denial of service).
