AI-suggested

A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.33.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 3.33.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No vendor advisory content was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or if the issue is already mitigated.

Description

FreeRDP versions prior to 3.33.0 contain a heap use-after-free vulnerability in several functions related to brush caching. This flaw allows a malicious RDP server to resend CACHE_BRUSH messages to the same slot and then send PATBLT commands, causing the client to read freed heap memory. The vulnerability can lead to information disclosure or application crashes.
