  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a heap-buffer-overflow
    occurs in drive read when a server-controlled read length is used to read file data into an IRP output
    stream buffer without a hard upper bound, allowing an oversized read to overwrite heap memory. This
    vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1. (CVE-2026-22854)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side
    heap buffer overflow occurs in the FreeRDP client's `gdi_SurfaceToSurface` path due to a mismatch between
    destination rectangle clamping and the actual copy size. A malicious server can trigger a clientside heap
    buffer overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending on
    allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
    (CVE-2026-23532)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, a client-side
    heap buffer overflow occurs in the ClearCodec bands decode path when crafted band coordinates allow writes
    past the end of the destination surface buffer. A malicious server can trigger a clientside heap buffer
    overflow, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with codeexecution risk depending on
    allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
    (CVE-2026-23534)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, offscreen bitmap
    deletion leaves `gdi->drawing` pointing to freed memory, causing UAF when related update packets arrive. A
    malicious server can trigger a clientside use after free, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap
    corruption with codeexecution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version
    3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2026-23884)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
