NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp package and not the freerdp package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.23 relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.22.0, ecam_encoder_compress_h264 trusts server-controlled dimensions and does not validate the source buffer size, leading to an out-of-bounds read in sws_scale. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.22.0.
