CVE-2023-39356: Debian Linux

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. In affected versions a missing offset validation may lead to an Out Of Bound Read in the function `gdi_multi_opaque_rect`. In particular there is no code to validate if the value `multi_opaque_rect->numRectangles` is less than 45. Looping through `multi_opaque_rect->`numRectangles without proper boundary checks can lead to Out-of-Bounds Read errors which will likely lead to 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.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 10.0 only
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 37 only; version 38 only; version 39 only
• Freerdp Freerdp: before 2.11.0 (fixed in 2.11.0); version 3.0.0 only
