  - FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for
    the PolygonSC and PolygonCB primary drawing orders. When AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g., xfreerdp /async-
    update), update_message_PolygonSC() and update_message_PolygonCB() allocate a fresh points array but copy
    point data from the address of the order structure instead of from polygonSC->points / polygonCB->points,
    resulting in a client-side out-of-bounds read. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending crafted
    PolygonSC/PolygonCB update orders can trigger memory disclosure or a client crash. (CVE-2026-67301)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
