Summary

FreeRDP before 3.32.1 on Windows contains a heap out-of-bounds read in client_cli_present_gateway_message, which passes a byte count as a wide-character printf precision (CWE-125). A malicious RD Gateway can send pre-authentication consent or service messages that make the client read twice the buffer size. The read leaks heap memory or crashes the client.
