FreeRDP, an open-source RDP client implementation, contains multiple vulnerabilities that can lead to denial of service, information disclosure, and potentially arbitrary code execution. The vulnerabilities include heap use-after-free during auto-reconnect (CVE-2026-25997), use-after-free (CVE-2026-25952), double free during disconnect (CVE-2026-26986), heap-buffer-overflow via out-of-bounds cacheId (CVE-2026-29775), out-of-bounds read in ADPCM decoders (CVE-2026-31885), division-by-zero in ADPCM decoders (CVE-2026-31884), denial of service via crafted audio data (CVE-2026-31883), information disclosure via heap out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-33985), information disclosure and denial of service via heap-buffer-overflow read (CVE-2026-33982), and memory corruption allowing denial of service or arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-33987). These vulnerabilities affect multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support variants and architectures. Red Hat has released updated packages to remediate these issues.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities can cause denial of service conditions, information disclosure, and in some cases memory corruption that may allow arbitrary code execution.
