Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp2 package and not the freerdp2 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

libfreerdp/codec/region.c in FreeRDP through 1.1.x and 2.x through 2.0.0-rc4 has memory leaks because a supplied realloc pointer (i.e., the first argument to realloc) is also used for a realloc return value.
