CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedFreeRDP versions prior to 3.28.0 are vulnerable to a heap corruption issue due to improper handling of decoded PCM data when communicating with a malicious RDP server. This vulnerability can lead to client crashes and potentially allow for remote code execution. Organizations using FreeRDP with the specified configurations should prioritize updating to version 3.28.0 to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0, freerdp_dsp_decode_opus in libfreerdp/codec/dsp.c calls Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity on context->common.buffer even though opus_decode writes decoded PCM into the caller-supplied out stream. A malicious RDP server that negotiates WAVE_FORMAT_OPUS with a client built with WITH_OPUS enabled and WITH_DSP_FFMPEG disabled can make libopus write a large decoded frame beyond the 4096-byte StreamPool_Take destination used by channels/rdpsnd/client/rdpsnd_main.c. This can corrupt the client heap, crash the client, and may permit code execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.
