Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can trigger this issue?

An attacker operating a malicious RDP server can trigger it when a FreeRDP client connects and processes a crafted URBDRC SELECT_CONFIGURATION message. The attacker does not need credentials, but user interaction is required because the client must connect to the server.

2

What is the impact of successful exploitation?

The crafted message can cause FreeRDP to read beyond allocated heap memory and crash the client, resulting in a denial of service. The provided information does not establish confidentiality or integrity impact.

3

Which versions should be remediated?

FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 are affected. Update to 3.31.0 or later.
