Summary

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a use-after-free flaw (CWE-416) in the freerdp-proxy dyn-channel-dump module during session teardown. A malicious RDP target can send dynamic channel data while the front client disconnects, so the client thread reads freed ChannelData. An attacker can crash the proxy process over the network without authentication.
