  - FreeRDP versions 3.28.0 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the RDP6 planar RLE
    bitmap decoder functions planar_decompress_plane_rle and planar_decompress_plane_rle_only in
    libfreerdp/codec/planar.c. Only the 1-byte control byte is bounds-checked; the subsequent 015 attacker-
    declared raw bytes are read without validating that the source buffer contains them. A malicious or
    compromised RDP server can send a truncated planar-encoded bitmap or surface update (reachable via both
    the Bitmap Update PDU and RDPGFX Surface Command paths) that causes the client to read past the end of the
    source buffer. The issue is fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0. (CVE-2026-67306)

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