CVE-2026-24677Network attack vector

Client crash via unchecked camera dimensions

Published Feb 9, 2026 · Updated Feb 9, 2026

Heap-buffer overflow in FreeRDP before 3.22.0 allows remote attackers controlling an RDP server to crash an RDPECAM client. ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request stores server-supplied media dimensions without validation, and ecam_encoder_compress_h264 passes a source buffer to sws_scale without checking that its size matches those dimensions. Exposure requires RDPECAM camera redirection and H.264 scaling during a connection to a malicious or compromised RDP server; the documented consequence is a client crash, while allocator layout determines whether resulting heap corruption permits code execution.
