CVE-2026-44421

FreeRDP RDPGFX CacheToSurface heap-buffer-overflow via clamped-rectangle validation bypass PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP server can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in the FreeRDP client by sending crafted RDPGFX PDUs. The bug is in gdi_CacheToSurface: it validates a destination rectangle that is clamped to UINT16_MAX, but then performs the copy using the original cacheEntry->width/height. This can cause a large out-of-bounds heap write and may lead to client crashes or code execution. This bug is reachable from a malicious RDP server, but only when the client has RDPGFX enabled. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.

A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in FreeRDP when handling Remote Desktop Protocol Graphics (RDPGFX). A malicious or compromised RDP server can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted graphics packets to a connected client, potentially crashing the client application (Denial of Service) or executing arbitrary code on the user's machine.
