Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to reachable assertion in rts_read_result() in libfreerdp/core/gateway/rts.c when parsing a truncated BIND_ACK result list sent by an RD Gateway over the RPC-over-HTTP transport. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted BIND_ACK fragment to cause a denial of service.
User interaction is required to induce the victim to connect through an attacker-controlled gateway, such as via a crafted .rdp file or link.
