AI-suggested

A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.32.2 and later. Users should upgrade to version 3.32.2 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

FreeRDP versions before 3.32.2 contain a vulnerability in the gdi_CreateSurface function when processing RDPGFX CREATE_SURFACE PDUs. The product of surface dimensions is not properly checked, leading to an integer wrap and heap buffer overflow on 32-bit systems, and an excessive memory allocation (~4 GiB) on 64-bit systems. A malicious RDP server can exploit this by sending crafted CREATE_SURFACE PDUs with large width and height values, potentially causing heap corruption or denial of service.
