Last modified

CVE-2026-121962 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a heap buffer overflow in transport_default_read_pdu when handling partial Early User Authorization reads during PROTOCOL_HYBRID_EX CredSSP. A malicious RDP server can split the four-byte EUA result into short reads that advance the stream pointer beyond the 16 KiB allocation, causing an out-of-bounds write and client denial of service.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
