CVE-2024-22211

FreeRDP is a collection of remote desktop protocol library and client software that is both free and open source. An integer overflow within freerdp_bitmap_planar_context_reset results in a heap-buffer overflow. This impacts clients built on FreeRDP. However, server implementations and proxies based on FreeRDP are unaffected. A malevolent server could create a RDPGFX_RESET_GRAPHICS_PDU to allocate buffers that are too small, potentially causing subsequent out-of-bounds reads/writes. It’s important to note that data extraction over the network is not feasible; these buffers are utilized solely for displaying images.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
