Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.20.1, a heap use-after-free occurs in irp_thread_func because the IRP is freed by irp->Complete() and then accessed again on the error path. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.20.1.
