Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA and Red Hat. Impact type from CWE-129 and the CVSS impact.

Summary

FreeRDP before 3.32.0 stores a server-supplied signed MS-RDPEGT geometry origin in an unsigned video surface coordinate without checking it (CWE-129). The blit clamp in gdiVideoShowSurface() then wraps in 32-bit arithmetic and is skipped. A malicious RDP server can send a negative value to clients connecting with /video, causing an out-of-bounds write of decoded H.264 picture data or a client abort.

Description from the CNA

FreeRDP before 3.32.0 stores the server-supplied signed MS-RDPEGT geometry origin unchecked in an unsigned video surface coordinate, so the blit clamp in gdiVideoShowSurface() wraps in 32-bit arithmetic and is skipped. A malicious RDP server can send a negative topLevelLeft to clients connecting with /video, causing an out-of-bounds write of decoded H.264 picture data or a client abort.
