Description
FreeRDP versions 3.10.0 through 3.32.2 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the WinPR png_write_data callback. This flaw occurs when a malicious RDP clipboard peer supplies a large CF_DIB image, triggering an out-of-bounds memcpy during PNG conversion and causing the client to crash.
