AI-suggested

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

Description

FreeRDP versions before 3.32.2 contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the client's rdpgfx dynamic virtual channel. This occurs when a duplicate-name channel with a new ChannelId overwrites the listener's single callback slot, which is freed without clearing. A malicious RDP server can exploit this by opening and closing such a channel and then sending a PDU on the original channel, potentially causing a client crash or code execution.
