FreeRDP versions 3.13.0 before 3.32.0 contain a resource retention flaw in drive_process_irp_create, which registers an opened local file in the drive dictionary before applying the allocation size and does not remove it when that operation fails. A malicious RDP server connected to a client with drive redirection enabled can send IRP_MJ_CREATE with AllocationSize set to UINT64_MAX, forcing the seek to fail and leaking the file object and operati

freerdp freerdp UPGRADE
Affected: >= 3.13.0 and < 3.32.0
Fixed in: 3.32.0
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.13.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy freerdp || rpm -q freerdp || freerdp --version
2. UPGRADE to 3.32.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade freerdp
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade freerdp
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.13.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison freerdp
sudo apt install freerdp=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.13.0>
sudo apt-mark hold freerdp
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list freerdp
sudo dnf downgrade freerdp-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.13.0>
sudo dnf versionlock add freerdp
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
