CVE-2026-57156

FreeRDP: Integer overflow leading to heap buffer overflow in Orders Delta Points parsing

Published Jul 10, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.6 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.28.0 on 32-bit builds, FreeRDP clients contain an integer overflow in update_read_delta_points in libfreerdp/core/orders.c when multiplying an attacker-controlled point count by sizeof(DELTA_POINT), allowing a malicious RDP peer to allocate an undersized heap buffer and then write beyond it during initialization. This issue is fixed in version 3.28.0.
