A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.32.2. Users and administrators should upgrade to version 3.32.2 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided in the available data.

Description

FreeRDP versions prior to 3.32.2 have a vulnerability in the tls_verify_certificate() function where improper certificate validation occurs. The function improperly accepts Common Name fallback despite non-matching Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries and incorrectly matches IP literals against DNS strings. This flaw allows man-in-the-middle attackers with a certificate from a client-trusted CA to bypass server identity verification and intercept Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions, including sensitive data such as keystrokes, clipboard contents, and screen display.
