Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems are in scope for this update?
The advisory lists FreeRDP packages including freerdp, freerdp-libs, freerdp-devel, freerdp-debuginfo, libwinpr, and libwinpr-devel on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Extended Life Cycle Support, including the IBM Power big-endian variant.
What attacker-controlled inputs can trigger the reported issues?
The listed issues can be triggered through malicious RDP files, crafted WindowIcon asynchronous messages, redirection that injects HTTP proxy requests, and audio-input data that causes an integer overflow. The stated impacts include arbitrary code execution, remote code execution, denial of service, and HTTP proxy request injection.
Does this affect RDP clients or servers?
The advisory describes xfreerdp as a client that connects to RDP servers, and the listed attack vectors involve data received through RDP-related inputs. It does not state that RDP server implementations themselves are affected by these FreeRDP flaws.
