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 version 3.23.0, xf_cliprdr_provide_data_ passes freed pDstData to XChangeProperty because the cliprdr channel thread calls xf_cliprdr_server_format_data_response which converts and uses the clipboard data without holding any lock, while the X11 event thread concurrently calls xf_cliprdr_clear_cached_dataHashTable_Clear which frees the same data via xf_cached_data_free, triggering a heap use after free. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
