AI-suggested
A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.28.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 3.28.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the provided data.
Description
FreeRDP versions from 2.0.0-beta1 before 3.28.0 have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the smartcard_LocateCardsByATRA_Call function. This flaw arises because the ATR pattern cbAtr byte count is not properly capped, allowing malicious RDP servers to send crafted ATR mask arrays. Exploiting this can leak heap memory bit-by-bit, potentially defeating ASLR and aiding remote code execution.
