Freerdp · Freerdp · CVE-2026-22853
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeRDP versions prior to 3.20.1
**Description**
FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol, contains a flaw in RDPEAR’s NDR array reader. The NDR array reader does not validate the element count, potentially leading to a heap buffer overflow when reading data. This occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when processing on-wire elements, allowing writes beyond the allocated heap buffer. The vulnerable component is the `ndr read uint8Array` function.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 3.20.1 or later.
