CVSS 3.1
5.9 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HCVE-2020-11042
Medium (5.9). EPSS 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
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.
