Last modified
CVE-2026-109242 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP before 3.0.0 and 3.6.0 before 3.32.0 renders uninitialized heap memory from un-decoded progressive tiles because the tile->current buffer is allocated without zeroing. A malicious RDP server can send a crafted WBT_TILE_FIRST then WBT_TILE_UPGRADE sequence to paint heap bytes onscreen or abort the client process.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
