CVE-2023-39355: Debian Linux

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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 `RDPGFX_CMDID_RESETGRAPHICS` 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.

Affected products

  • Debian Debian Linux: version 10.0 only
  • Freerdp Freerdp: version 3.0.0 only
