AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied by updating FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later as provided in the Ubuntu security notices USN-9007-1. Standard system updates will install the fixed packages. No additional mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
FreeRDP versions from 3.11.0 up to but not including 3.32.2 contain an assertion failure vulnerability in the RemoteFX RLGR decoder. This flaw allows a malicious RDP server to send specially crafted RemoteFX tileset data that triggers a signed narrowing assertion, causing the client to crash. The vulnerability results in a denial of service condition but does not impact confidentiality or integrity. Fixed versions are available in FreeRDP 3.32.2 packages for Ubuntu 24.04, 26.04, and 26.10.
