CVE-2026-67301
Publication date 1 August 2026
Last updated 7 August 2026
Ubuntu priority
Description
FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the async update message proxy for the PolygonSC and PolygonCB primary drawing orders. When AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g., xfreerdp /async-update), update_message_PolygonSC() and update_message_PolygonCB() allocate a fresh points array but copy point data from the address of the order structure instead of from polygonSC->points / polygonCB->points, resulting in a client-side out-of-bounds read. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending crafted PolygonSC/PolygonCB update orders can trigger memory disclosure or a client crash.
