CVE-2026-110837FreeRDP 2.0.0 before 3.32.0 Heap Buffer Overflow via MP3 Audio Decoding
High 7.1
In plain English
A high-severity heap buffer overflow in FreeRDP from FreeRDP. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 31% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
FreeRDP 2.0.0 before 3.32.0, when built with WITH_LAME=ON and WITH_DSP_FFMPEG=OFF, has a heap-based buffer overflow in freerdp_dsp_decode_mp3 because the right-channel PCM pointer is offset by a byte count treated as short elements. A malicious RDP server can send MP3 audio over rdpsnd so decoded samples cross the heap allocation, crashing the client.
