AI-suggested

Upgrade FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later, where this double free vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated in the available data.

Description

FreeRDP versions prior to 3.32.2 contain a double free vulnerability in the WinPR Kerberos SSPI retrieveSomeTgt function. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote clients to send a specially crafted NLA/CredSSP u2u TGT request with a server-name component containing '@', leading to heap corruption and a crash of the server process.
