CVE-2026-25954

FreeRDP has heap-use-after-free in xf_rail_server_local_move_size

Published Feb 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, `xf_rail_server_local_move_size` dereferences a freed `xfAppWindow` pointer because `xf_rail_get_window` returns an unprotected pointer from the `railWindows` hash table, and the main thread can concurrently delete the window (via a window delete order) while the RAIL channel thread is still using the pointer. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
