CVE-2026-67288 PUBLISHED

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 Denial of Service via smartcard cache

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 29.07.2026 Published: 01.08.2026 Updated: 01.08.2026

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in smartcard cache request decoders that accept NULL NDR pointers for LookupName in SCARD_IOCTL_READCACHEA and SCARD_IOCTL_WRITECACHEA operations. When smartcard emulation is enabled, attackers can send crafted smartcard cache requests with NULL lookup-name pointers to trigger strlen() on a null pointer, causing client process termination.
