Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, FreeRDP server implementations with the MS-RDPECAM camera device enumerator channel enabled scan attacker-supplied DeviceName and VirtualChannelName fields for a NUL terminator in channels/rdpecam/server/camera_device_enumerator_main.c and then dereference once past the scan bound, allowing a malicious RDP client to trigger a 1- to 2-byte out-of-bounds heap read. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the FreeRDP server’s RDPECAM camera device enumerator channel allows a malicious RDP client to supply an unterminated DeviceName or VirtualChannelName string. The server scans these fields for a NUL terminator, then dereferences once past the bound,‑to‑ 2‑byte out‑of‑bounds heap read (CWE‑125). This oversight can expose sensitive data stored on the heap but does not provide direct code execution or denial of service; the impact is limited to information disclosure.

Affected Systems

Any FreeRDP server running a version earlier than 3.28.0 with the MS‑RDPECAM camera device enumerator channel enabled is vulnerable. The issue is remedied in FreeRDP.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker must establish an RDP session and send a crafted request to the enumerator channel. The attack vector is remote, and it is inferred that authenticated or unfiltered RDP client access might be required. Given these conditions, the overall risk is moderate, with a lower likelihood of exploitation in environments where RDP access is tightly controlled.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update to FreeRDP 3.28.0 or later to receive the fix forIf an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the MS‑RDPECAM camera device enumerator channel on the server so path is not exercised.
  • Configure firewall or access control rules to restrict RDP sessions to trusted hosts, limiting the opportunity for an attacker to reach the vulnerable service.
  • Segregate RDP services within a separate network segment to limit exposure to potential attackers.
