FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard device control request cleanup when reader-state decoding fails. Attackers can send malformed smartcard IRP requests with non-zero cReaders and truncated reader-state data to crash the process via null pointer access in free_reader_states functions.
