Red Hat Security Advisory: freerdp security update

Moderate

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.

CWE-190 - Integer Overflow or Wraparound

A flaw was found in FreeRDP-based clients. Affected versions of FreeRDP are vulnerable to an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write. This issue occurs when the sum of the `runLengthFactor` and `pixelIndex` values become large enough to overflow the uint32 type and bypass an error check when clearing residual data.

CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients that use a version of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 and have connections to servers using the `NSC` codec are vulnerable to integer underflow. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. As a workaround, do not use the NSC codec (e.g. use `-nsc`).

CWE-191 - Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients that use a version of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. As a workaround, deactivate `/gfx` (on by default, set `/bpp` or `/rfx` options instead.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients that use a version of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. As a workaround, use `/gfx` or `/rfx` modes (on by default, require server side support).

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients and servers that use a version of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. No known workarounds are available.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based based clients using `/bpp:32` legacy `GDI` drawing path with a version of FreeRDP prior to 3.5.0 or 2.11.6 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. Versions 3.5.0 and 2.11.6 patch the issue. As a workaround, use modern drawing paths (e.g. `/rfx` or `/gfx` options). The workaround requires server side support.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients prior to version 3.5.1 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read. Version 3.5.1 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. FreeRDP based clients prior to version 3.5.1 are vulnerable to out-of-bounds read if `((nWidth == 0) and (nHeight == 0))`. Version 3.5.1 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.
