FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. The xfreerdp client can connect to RDP servers such as Microsoft Windows machines, xrdp, and VirtualBox. Security Fix(es): * freerdp: FreeRDP: Denial of service due to use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2026-25952) * freerdp: FreeRDP: Denial of Service via double free vulnerability during disconnect (CVE-2026-26986) * freerdp: FreeRDP: Denial of Service via endless blocking loop in Stream_EnsureCapacity (CVE-2026-27951) * freerdp: FreeRDP has a heap-buffer-overflow in bitmap_cache_put via OOB cacheId (CVE-2026-29775) * freerdp: FreeRDP has an out-of-bounds read in ADPCM decoders due to missing predictor/step_index bounds checks (CVE-2026-31885) * freerdp: FreeRDP has a division-by-zero in ADPCM decoders when `nBlockAlign` is 0 (CVE-2026-31884) * freerdp: FreeRDP: Denial of Service via crafted audio data in RDP (CVE-2026-31883) * FreeRDP: FreeRDP: Information disclosure via heap memory out of bounds read (CVE-2026-33985) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Technical Analysis

This advisory covers eight distinct security vulnerabilities in FreeRDP affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related CodeReady Linux Builder products. The issues include denial of service via use-after-free (CVE-2026-25952), double free during disconnect (CVE-2026-26986), endless blocking loop in Stream_EnsureCapacity (CVE-2026-27951), heap-buffer-overflow in bitmap_cache_put (CVE-2026-29775), out-of-bounds read in ADPCM decoders due to missing bounds checks (CVE-2026-31885), division-by-zero in ADPCM decoders when nBlockAlign is zero (CVE-2026-31884), denial of service via crafted audio data (CVE-2026-31883), and information disclosure via heap memory out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-33985). These vulnerabilities impact the freerdp client and related libraries. Red Hat has issued updated packages to remediate these vulnerabilities.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities collectively allow an attacker to cause denial of service conditions through memory corruption and logic errors, potentially crashing the freerdp client or causing it to hang. One vulnerability allows information disclosure via out-of-bounds heap memory reads. The issues affect the stability and confidentiality of the FreeRDP client when connecting to RDP servers. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated freerdp packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related products that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:19358 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed as fixed in the updated packages.
