NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp package and not the freerdp package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.21.0, offscreen bitmap deletion leaves gdi-&gt;drawing pointing to freed memory, causing UAF when related update packets arrive. A malicious server can trigger a client‑side use after free, causing a crash (DoS) and potential heap corruption with code‑execution risk depending on allocator behavior and surrounding heap layout. Version 3.21.0 contains a patch for the issue.
