Last modified
CVE-2026-56297 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP before 3.22.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in dvcman_channel_close and dvcman_call_on_receive due to improper synchronization of channel_callback access. A malicious RDP server can trigger a race condition by sending DYNVC_DATA and DYNVC_CLOSE messages concurrently, causing heap-use-after-free in the drdynvc client thread and potentially enabling remote code execution or denial of service.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
