Last modified

CVE-2026-121957 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a use-after-free vulnerability that allows malicious RDP servers to corrupt client memory by racing the RDPGFX ResetGraphics handler against the planar bitmap decoder. Attackers can send ResetGraphics while concurrently sending compressed bitmaps of 32 bpp or more to trigger heap use-after-free or out-of-bounds read/write on shared planar buffers.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
