{"cve":"CVE-2021-41159","nvd":{"published":"2021-10-21T19:15:07.797","modified":"2026-06-17T04:07:59.687","status":"Modified","description":"FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. All FreeRDP clients prior to version 2.4.1 using gateway connections (`/gt:rpc`) fail to validate input data. A malicious gateway might allow client memory to be written out of bounds. This issue has been resolved in version 2.4.1. If you are unable to update then use `/gt:http` rather than /gt:rdp connections if possible or use a direct connection without a gateway.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-vh34-m9h7-95xq","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DWJXQOWKNR7O5HM2HFJOM4GBUFPTE3RG/","https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202210-24","https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-vh34-m9h7-95xq","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DWJXQOWKNR7O5HM2HFJOM4GBUFPTE3RG/"],"products":["fedoraproject:fedora","freerdp:freerdp"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:24:39.218183596+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-41159","score":0.01492,"percentile":0.7414,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
