Описание
FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains client-side heap use-after-free vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for RAIL WINDOW_STATE_ORDER and NOTIFY_ICON_STATE_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled. When a malicious or compromised RDP server sends crafted update orders, the message proxy shallow-copies structures containing nested parser-owned pointers (e.g., titleInfo.string, windowRects, visibilityRects, icon buffers). The parser frees those nested buffers after the callback returns, so the queued async message later dispatches stale pointers, potentially causing memory corruption or a client crash.
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. This client-side heap use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a malicious or compromised Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server sends specially crafted update orders. The async update message proxy incorrectly handles memory by shallow-copying structures with pointers that are later freed by the parser. This leads to the use of stale pointers, which can cause memory corruption or a client crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Отчет
This issue is classified as Moderate severity because exploitation requires a user to connect to a malicious or compromised RDP server, where crafted update orders can trigger a client-side heap use-after-free resulting in an application crash or memory corruption.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, avoid connecting to untrusted RDP servers. Additionally, if possible, disable the AsyncUpdate feature in FreeRDP clients to prevent the vulnerable code path from being exercised. Consult FreeRDP documentation for specific configuration options to disable AsyncUpdate.
