CVE-2026-67299: FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update).
FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update). In update_message_WindowIcon() a shallow CopyMemory() overwrites a freshly allocated lParam->iconInfo with the parser-owned windowIcon->iconInfo pointer. After the parser callback returns, update_recv_window_info_order() frees window_icon.iconInfo, but the queued async message still retains and later dispatches that stale pointer. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending a crafted RAIL Window Alternate Secondary Order with WINDOW_ORDER_ICON can trigger use-after-free, leading to memory corruption and client crash.
