Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freerdp3 package and not the freerdp3 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:24.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, xf_AppUpdateWindowFromSurface reuses a cached XImage whose data pointer references a freed RDPGFX surface buffer, because gdi_DeleteSurface frees surface-&gt;data without invalidating the appWindow-&gt;image that aliases it. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
