Summary

FreeRDP before 3.31.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the general_ChromaV1ToYUV444 function during AVC444 chroma plane reconstruction. A malicious RDP server can craft a RFX_AVC444_BITMAP_STREAM with specific frame geometry to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read past the allocated luma plane.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of FreeRDP/FreeRDP published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
