CVE-2026-27015
No affected components available
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, a missing bounds check in smartcard_unpack_read_size_align() (libfreerdp/utils/smartcard_pack.c:1703) allows a malicious RDP server to crash the FreeRDP client via a reachable WINPR_ASSERT → abort(). The crash occurs in upstream builds where WITH_VERBOSE_WINPR_ASSERT=ON (default in FreeRDP 3.22.0 / current WinPR CMake defaults). Smartcard redirection must be explicitly enabled by the user (e.g., xfreerdp /smartcard; /smartcard-logon implies /smartcard). Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights.
Limited exploitation activity has been observed. Close monitoring and planned remediation are recommended.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
