Heap-use-after-free Vulnerability in FreeRDP Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation

CVE-2026-27950

What is CVE-2026-27950?

FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol, contains a heap-use-after-free vulnerability in its SDL2 implementation. Prior to version 3.23.0, the fix for this issue was incomplete as the vulnerable execution flow referenced in the advisory still exists in the SDL2 code path. Specifically, the pointer in the SDL2 implementation is not nullified after being freed, allowing for a situation where the advisory incorrectly suggests that the vulnerability is fully resolved. Environments still utilizing SDL2 may be exposed to this unresolved vulnerability, while the complete fix is available in version 3.23.0.
