Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

FreeRDP is a set of free and open source remote desktop protocol library and clients. In affected versions an integer overflow in freerdpbitmapplanarcontextreset leads to heap-buffer overflow. This affects FreeRDP based clients. FreeRDP based server implementations and proxy are not affected. A malicious server could prepare a RDPGFXRESETGRAPHICSPDU to allocate too small buffers, possibly triggering later out of bound read/write. Data extraction over network is not possible, the buffers are used to display an image. This issue has been addressed in version 2.11.5 and 3.2.0. Users are advised to upgrade. there are no know workarounds for this vulnerability.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Versions of FreeRDP on the 3.x release branch before beta3 are subject to a Use-After-Free in processing RDPGFXCMDIDRESETGRAPHICS packets. If context->maxPlaneSize is 0, context->planesBuffer will be freed. However, without updating context->planesBuffer, this leads to a Use-After-Free exploit vector. In most environments this should only result in a crash. This issue has been addressed in version 3.0.0-beta3 and users of the beta 3.x releases are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Affected versions are subject to an invalid offset validation leading to Out Of Bound Write. This can be triggered when the values rect->left and rect->top are exactly equal to surface->width and surface->height. eg. rect->left == surface->width && rect->top == surface->height. In practice this should cause a crash. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Affected versions of the 3.x beta branch are subject to a Use-After-Free issue in the avc420ensurebuffer and avc444ensurebuffer functions. If the value of piDstSize[x] is 0, ppYUVDstData[x] will be freed. However, in this case ppYUVDstData[x] will not have been updated which leads to a Use-After-Free vulnerability. This issue has been addressed in version 3.0.0-beta3. Users of the 3.x beta releases are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Integer Underflow
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.24.0, a sizet underflow in the IMA-ADPCM and MS-ADPCM audio decoders leads to heap-buffer-overflow write via the RDPSND audio channel. In libfreerdp/codec/dsp.c, the IMA-ADPCM and MS-ADPCM decoders subtract block header sizes from a sizet variable without checking for underflow. When nBlockAlign (received from the server) is set such that size % blocksize == 0 triggers the header parsing at a point where size is smaller than the header (4 or 8 bytes), the subtraction wraps size to ~SIZEMAX. The while (size > 0) loop then continues for an astronomical number of iterations. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.24.0.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Prior to version 2.7.0, server side authentication against a SAM file might be successful for invalid credentials if the server has configured an invalid SAM file path. FreeRDP based clients are not affected. RDP server implementations using FreeRDP to authenticate against a SAM file are affected. Version 2.7.0 contains a fix for this issue. As a workaround, use custom authentication via HashCallback and/or ensure the SAM database path configured is valid and the application has file handles left.
