Description
FreeRDP versions before 3.32.0 on Unix systems with PKCS#11 support contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the wprintKeyName() function of WinPR's NCrypt PKCS#11 provider. The flaw arises when hex-encoding a key's CKA_ID of up to 64 bytes into a fixed 128-byte stack buffer, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack by supplying a malicious PKCS#11 token or module with a 55- to 64-byte CKA_ID during key enumeration, causing a client crash.
