Vulnerability in FreeRDP (CVE-2026-109251)
Summary
Vulnerability in FreeRDP (CVE-2026-109251). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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.
