What is CVE-2024-32460?

FreeRDP is an open-source implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol that is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read condition in clients that utilize the legacy GDI drawing path with the /bpp:32 option. This vulnerability affects FreeRDP versions earlier than 3.5.0 and 2.11.6. Users are encouraged to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate the risk. Alternatively, employing modern drawing paths such as /rfx or /gfx can serve as a workaround, although this requires corresponding support from the server side.

Affected Version(s)

FreeRDP >= 3.0.0, 3.5.0 >= 3.0.0, 3.5.0

FreeRDP < 2.11.6 < 2.11.6
