CVE-2026-109950: FreeRDP heap out-of-bounds read in RD Gateway message handling

CVE-2026-109950 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-13

FreeRDP is a remote desktop protocol client library used to connect to Windows systems and RD Gateways. A malicious or compromised RD Gateway can send specially crafted consent or service messages that cause the FreeRDP client to read memory beyond its allocated buffer, crashing the client and denying service to users attempting to connect through that gateway.

How to fix

Fixed in: 3.32.0

Use the NDR string's validated ActualCount as the authoritative length passed to gateway message callbacks, or reject messages where MsgBytes does not equal ActualCount multiplied by sizeof(WCHAR).</anigation> <parameter name="timeline">[{"kind": "advisory", "at": "2026-09-29"}, {"kind": "disclosed", "at": "2026-10-13"}]

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in FreeRDP's TSG (Terminal Server Gateway) packet parsing code where MsgBytes field is not properly validated against the NDR string's ActualCount. An attacker controlling the RD Gateway can send a message with a much larger MsgBytes than the actual string content, causing the UTF-8 conversion routine to read past the received stream allocation. The vulnerability requires network access to the gateway and affects versions 3.0.0 through 3.31.1.
