Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is exposed to this issue?

FreeRDP clients before 3.31.0 are exposed when they connect to a malicious RDP server capable of sending URBDRC control-transfer requests. The impact is termination of the client process, resulting in denial of service.

2

What does an attacker need to exploit it?

An attacker needs to operate or control an RDP server that the vulnerable FreeRDP client connects to. No client-side privileges are required, but user interaction is required because the client must initiate the connection.

3

How can I tell whether a client is affected?

A client is affected if it uses a FreeRDP version earlier than 3.31.0. During exploitation, the client process terminates after receiving a URBDRC control-transfer request with OutputBufferSize set to 65536.
