An attacker can exploit multiple vulnerabilities in FreeRDP to cause unspecified impacts, potentially execute arbitrary code, bypass security measures, manipulate data, disclose confidential information or cause a denial-of-service condition.
CSIRTS triage
- What
- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in FreeRDP enabling arbitrary code execution, security bypass, data manipulation, information disclosure, and denial of service.
- Who is affected
- FreeRDP users and systems using affected versions for remote desktop protocol operations.
- Urgency
