AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied by upgrading to FreeRDP version 3.32.0 or later, specifically versions 3.32.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 or 3.32.0+dfsg-0ubuntu0.26.04.1 as provided by Ubuntu. Users should update affected packages to these fixed versions to remediate the vulnerability.
Description
FreeRDP versions before 3.32.0 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the function persistent_cache_read_entry_v3. This flaw allows local attackers to corrupt memory by providing a crafted v3 persistent cache file with manipulated width and height values, causing a buffer overflow during data reading. The vulnerability can lead to potential code execution. A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.32.0 and later.
