CVE-2026-73242 PUBLISHED

FreeRDP: Kerberos GSS Wrap-token `EC` field is unbounded, causing an out-of-bounds decrypt in `kerberos_DecryptMessage`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 11.08.2026 Published: 11.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.30.0, FreeRDP's winpr/libwinpr/sspi/Kerberos/kerberos.c kerberos_DecryptMessage function fails to bound the peer-controlled GSS Wrap-token EC field before using it with RRC in IOV pointer offsets, allowing a malicious RDP peer to trigger out-of-bounds reads and in-place writes during CredSSP/NLA Kerberos decryption. This issue is fixed in version 3.30.0.
