The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the drdynvc client channel callback handling in channels/drdynvc/client/drdynvc_main.c when processing concurrent DYNVC_DATA and server-driven DYNVC_CLOSE messages on the same dynamic virtual channel. A remote attacker can send specially crafted dynamic virtual channel messages to cause a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code.

The issue is reachable when a FreeRDP client connects to a malicious or compromised RDP server, and drdynvc is enabled by default.
