NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp3 package and not the freerdp3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, RDPEAR’s NDR array reader does not perform bounds checking on the on‑wire element count and can write past the heap buffer allocated from hints, causing a heap buffer overflow in ndr_read_uint8Array. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.
