Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the update_message_WindowIcon process when handling asynchronous update messages. An attacker can cause memory corruption and crash the client by sending a crafted RAIL Window Alternate Secondary Order with WINDOW_ORDER_ICON from a malicious or compromised RDP server. This is only exploitable if AsyncUpdate is enabled (for example, when using xfreerdp with the /async-update option).
