FreeRDP: Heap out-of-bounds write in RemoteFX (RFX) Cache Bitmap V3 decode

Published Jul 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.27.1, FreeRDP clients launched with the non-default /cache:codec:rfx option pass desktop stride and height to RemoteFX decoding for Cache Bitmap V3 data while allocating bitmap->data only for the smaller DstWidth and DstHeight in gdi_Bitmap_Decompress, allowing a malicious RDP server to trigger a heap out-of-bounds write with attacker-controlled offset and content. This issue is fixed in version 3.27.1.
