CVE-2026-121394 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting freerdp. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

FreeRDP from 3.11.0 before 3.32.2 contains an assertion failure in the RemoteFX RLGR decoder that allows malicious servers to terminate clients. Attackers controlling an RDP server can send a RemoteFX tileset with RLGR code 32767, triggering a signed narrowing assertion in rfx_rlgr_decode and crashing the client.

Why this priority

freerdp freerdp UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.11.0 and < 3.32.2

Fixed in: 3.32.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.11.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy freerdp || rpm -q freerdp || freerdp --version

2. UPGRADE to 3.32.2 (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 3.11.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison freerdp sudo apt install freerdp=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.11.0> 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_3.11.0> 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.
