Prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP client can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in FreeRDP's server-side clipboard (cliprdr) channel by sending a CB_CLIP_CAPS PDU with a too-small capabilitySetLength. This can crash the server process (remote DoS) and may be exploitable for code execution because it corrupts heap memory. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `freerdp < 3.26.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `freerdp 3.26.0`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":49,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.2,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
