Description
FreeRDP before 3.32.1 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Android client that allows malicious RDP servers to read beyond surface buffers by supplying unvalidated mappedWidth and mappedHeight values. Attackers can send a crafted RDPGFX_MAP_SURFACE_TO_WINDOW_PDU with oversized dimensions, causing android_UpdateWindowFromSurface to copy heap memory beyond the allocation, leading to crashes or memory disclosure.

AI Analysis

Impact

A heap out‑of‑bounds read exists in the Android client of FreeRDP prior to version 3.32.1. This issue allows a malicious remote desktop protocol server to supply excessively large mappedWidth and mappedHeight values in an RDPGFX_MAP_SURFACE_TO_WINDOW_PDU, causing the android_UpdateWindowFromSurface routine to copy memory beyond the bounds of a surface buffer. The resulting read may expose sensitive data or lead to a crash, impacting confidentiality and stability of the client application.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Android client of the FreeRDP project. All installations using any FreeRDP version older than 3.32.1 are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is currently unlikely. The vulnerability is not listed as a Known Exploited Vulnerability by CISA. Attackers can exploit it remotely by connecting to the affected Android client, transmitting a specially crafted PDU. Without patching, attackers could read arbitrary memory or cause a denial of service.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the FreeRDP Android client to version 3.32.1 or later, which removes the out-of-bounds heap read.
  • Restrict remote RDP connections to trusted networks or IP ranges by configuring firewalls or network access controls to limit exposure to malicious servers.
  • Monitor the client application for crashes or unexpected memory reads, and investigate any suspicious activity as a potential exploitation attempt.
