CVE-2026-67293 PUBLISHED

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 Improper Certificate Hostname Validation

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

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability. The TLS hostname matcher (tls_match_hostname() in libfreerdp/crypto/tls.c) treats a wildcard pattern such as *.example.com as matching any hostname ending in .example.com, so it incorrectly accepts a wildcard certificate for multi-label subdomains like a.b.example.com (which OpenSSL's X509_check_host() rejects). This weakens TLS server authentication under wildcard-certificate conditions.
