The AlmaLinux security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for AlmaLinux:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp-server package and not the freerdp-server package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, xf_clipboard_format_equal reads freed lastSentFormats memory because xf_clipboard_formats_free (called from the cliprdr channel thread during auto-reconnect) frees the array while the X11 event thread concurrently iterates it in xf_clipboard_changed, triggering a heap use after free. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
