There is no fixed version for Debian:12 freerdp2.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp2 package and not the freerdp2 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.29.0, planar_decompress_plane_rle and planar_decompress_plane_rle_only in libfreerdp/codec/planar.c verify that a control byte exists but do not verify that the source buffer contains the zero to fifteen raw bytes declared by that control byte. A malicious RDP server can send a truncated planar bitmap or surface update whose final control byte claims additional raw bytes, causing the decoder to read beyond pSrcData while processing a color plane. This can crash the client and may disclose adjacent memory. This issue is fixed in version 3.29.0.
