CVE-2026-64620

CRITICAL CVSS 4.0: 9.3 EPSS 0.85%
Updated Jul 28, 2026
Freerdp
Parameter Value
CVSS 9.3 (CRITICAL)
Affected Versions before 3.28.0
Fixed In 3.28.0
Type CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow)
Vendor Freerdp
Public PoC No

FreeRDP before 3.28.0 (affected <=3.27.1) contains a heap-based buffer overflow in crypto_rsa_common() (libfreerdp/crypto/crypto.c). The function writes the modular-exponentiation result into the caller's output buffer via BN_bn2bin() and only afterward checks output_length > out_length, so out-of-bounds bytes are written before the bounds check. On the server side, when a client selects RDP Standard Security, the encrypted client random is decrypted into a fixed 32-byte buffer.

Because the server publishes its RSA public key, an unauthenticated attacker can forge a ciphertext whose decrypted value is up to the full modulus length (e.g. 256 bytes for RSA-2048), overflowing the 32-byte heap buffer by up to ~224 attacker-controlled bytes pre-authentication, resulting in denial of service.
