CVE-2020-11042
In FreeRDP greater than 1.1 and before 2.0.0, there is an out-of-bounds read in update_read_icon_info.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In FreeRDP greater than 1.1 and before 2.0.0, there is an out-of-bounds read in update_read_icon_info. It allows reading a attacker-defined amount of client memory (32bit unsigned -> 4GB) to an intermediate buffer. This can be used to crash the client or store information for later retrieval. This has been patched in 2.0.0.
