NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp-wayland package and not the freerdp-wayland package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a race condition between the RDPGFX dynamic virtual channel thread and the SDL render thread leads to a heap use-after-free. Specifically, an escaped pointer to sdl->primary (SDL_Surface) is accessed after it has been freed during RDPGFX ResetGraphics handling. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.
