Oracle Linux: CVE-2021-41160: ELSA-2021-4622: freerdp security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

Description

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. In affected versions a malicious server might trigger out of bound writes in a connected client. Connections using GDI or SurfaceCommands to send graphics updates to the client might send `0` width/height or out of bound rectangles to trigger out of bound writes. With `0` width or heigth the memory allocation will be `0` but the missing bounds checks allow writing to the pointer at this (not allocated) region. This issue has been patched in FreeRDP 2.4.1. A flaw was found in the FreeRDP client where it fails to validate input data when using connections with GDI or SurfaceCommands. This flaw could allow a malicious server sending graphics updates to a client to cause an out of bounds write in client memory using a specially crafted input. The highest threat from this flaw is that it could allow arbitrary code to be executed on the target system.
