Description
Positive mapped-video coordinates overflow and abort FreeRDP clients A malicious or compromised RDP server can terminate a FreeRDP client after the user connects with video redirection enabled.

Impact: Denial of Service

AI Analysis

Impact

FreeRDP clients are vulnerable to an integer overflow when processing mapped‑video geometry coordinates sent by an RDP server. The overflow causes the client to abort abruptly, effectively terminating the RDP session. This flaw can be triggered by a malicious or compromised server once the client has connected and enabled video redirection; it does not require any local privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects FreeRDP versions from 3.11.0 up to, but not including, 3.32.0. All installations using these client releases are susceptible when video redirection is enabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw has a CVSS score of 7.1, indicating a moderate impact. No EPSS score is available, and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers can exploit the issue by sending crafted geometry updates from a remote RDP server, which is a likely attack vector since the server controls the data sent to the client.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.32.0 or newer, which contains the integer‑overflow fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable RDP video redirection to prevent the flaw from being exercised.
  • Restrict client connections to trusted RDP servers and monitor for unexpected abort events to detect exploitation attempts.
