CVE-2026-109256 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP 3.10.0 through 3.32.2 contains a heap buffer overflow in the WinPR png_write_data callback that writes past the buffer after a realloc failure. A malicious RDP clipboard peer can supply a large CF_DIB image that triggers out-of-bounds memcpy during PNG conversion, causing a client crash.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
