  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    This issue affects Clients only. Integer underflow leading to DOS (e.g. abort due to `WINPR_ASSERT` with
    default compilation flags). When an insufficient blockLen is provided, and proper length validation is not
    performed, an Integer Underflow occurs, leading to a Denial of Service (DOS) vulnerability. This issue has
    been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known
    workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39350)
