Summary

FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in nego_send_negotiation_request() that fails to validate the LB_LOAD_BALANCE_INFO field length before writing to a fixed 512-byte buffer. A malicious RDP server or man-in-the-middle can send a Server Redirection PDU with an oversized LB_LOAD_BALANCE_INFO value to overflow the buffer with attacker-controlled content, causing denial of service or heap corruption before authentication completes.

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.
