Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the CliprdrStream_Read function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted CB_FILECONTENTS_RESPONSE from a malicious RDP server, resulting in an out-of-bounds write to the heap buffer when a user pastes clipboard file contents.
