CVSS 3.1
6.5
MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
FreeRDP versions 2.0.0-beta1+android11
Description
A denial of service issue exists due to the improper handling of proprietary server certificates. An attacker can send a specially crafted challenge packet, causing the program to terminate and resulting in a denial of service condition. This can be triggered by compromising the server or using a man-in-the-middle attack.
Recommendations
For FreeRDP version 2.0.0-beta1+android11, consider restricting access to the certificate reading functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, implement additional validation on challenge packets to prevent specially crafted packets from causing program termination.
