AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied by upgrading FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later. Ubuntu users should update to the fixed package versions as specified in the Ubuntu Security Notice USN-9007-1. Standard system updates will apply the necessary fixes. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

FreeRDP versions prior to 3.32.2 contain a vulnerability in the tls_verify_certificate() function where improper certificate validation allows acceptance of Common Name fallback despite non-matching Subject Alternative Name entries and incorrect matching of IP literals against DNS strings. This flaw enables man-in-the-middle attackers with a certificate from a trusted client CA to bypass server identity verification and intercept Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions, including keystrokes, clipboard data, and screen content. The issue is addressed in FreeRDP version 3.32.2 and later.
