CVE-2026-44420

HIGH

FreeRDP cliprdr server heap-buffer-overflow via undersized capabilitySetLength in CB_CLIP_CAPS

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, a malicious RDP client can trigger a heap-buffer-overflow write in FreeRDP's server-side clipboard (cliprdr) channel by sending a CB_CLIP_CAPS PDU with a too-small capabilitySetLength. This can crash the server process (remote DoS) and may be exploitable for code execution because it corrupts heap memory. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.
