  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, an authenticated RDP
    client can advertise DVI ADPCM with nBlockAlign equal to 8 and nChannels equal to 2 to make the `bs`
    calculation in rdpsnd_server_select_format in channels/rdpsnd/server/rdpsnd_main.c equal zero. The
    subsequent out_frames modulo `bs` operation raises SIGFPE and terminates the server-side rdpsnd channel
    process. This vulnerability fixed in 3.28.0. (CVE-2026-63117)
