Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0250)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Multiple integer overflows in client/X11/xf_graphics.c in FreeRDP allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via the width and height to the (1) xf_Pointer_New or (2) xf_Bitmap_Decompress function, which causes an incorrect amount of memory to be allocated.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0791)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Integer overflow in the license_read_scope_list function in libfreerdp/core/license.c in FreeRDP through 1.0.2 allows remote RDP servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a large ScopeCount value in a Scope List in a Server License Request packet.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2834)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 8.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the authentication functionality of FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted server response can cause an out-of-bounds write resulting in an exploitable condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use a man in the middle attack to trigger this vulnerability.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2835)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the RDP receive functionality of FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted server response can cause an out-of-bounds write resulting in an exploitable condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use a man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.


5) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2836)

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the reading of proprietary server certificates in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2837)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the handling of security data in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2838)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the handling of challenge packets in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.
