Description
FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Windows RAIL client that allows malicious RDP servers to trigger heap over-reads by sending non-NUL-terminated window titles. Attackers can send a full-length WINDOW_ORDER_FIELD_TITLE update that wf_rail_window_common passes to SetWindowTextW, corrupting titles or crashing the client.

AI Analysis

Impact

FreeRDP versions 3.0.0 through 3.31.x contain an out‑of‑bounds read in the Windows RAIL client. When a malicious RDP server sends a WINDOW_ORDER_FIELD_TITLE update that is not NUL terminated, the client’s wf_rail_window_common routine passes a malformed string to SetWindowTextW, causing a heap over‑read. This may expose memory contents to the client process, corrupt window titles, or crash the application. The weakness is classified as a classic out‑of‑bounds read, CWE‑125.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the FreeRDP client distributed by the FreeRDP project. All build versions from 3.0.0 up to, but not including, 3.32.0 are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates moderate impact. The EPSS score is below 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting low to moderate likelihood of exploitation in the wild. Exploitation requires a remote attacker who can act as an RDP server and send a specially crafted, non‑NUL‑terminated window title to a client using RAIL. The attack reads memory, which may lead to information disclosure or a denial of service by crashing the client, but does not provide code execution.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the FreeRDP client to version 3.32.0 or later to eliminate the out‑of‑bounds read.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, configure the RDP server to disable the RAIL feature or ensure that all WINDOW_ORDER_FIELD_TITLE values are properly NUL terminated and within expected length limits.
  • Monitor RDP traffic for unusual WINDOW_ORDER_FIELD_TITLE updates and block connections from untrusted servers.
