{"id":"CVE-2026-67299","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"FreeRDP before 3.29.0 Use-After-Free via WindowIcon async message","description":"FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update). In update_message_WindowIcon() a shallow CopyMemory() overwrites a freshly allocated lParam->iconInfo with the parser-owned windowIcon->iconInfo pointer. After the parser callback returns, update_recv_window_info_order() frees window_icon.iconInfo, but the queued async message still retains and later dispatches that stale pointer. A malicious or compromised RDP server sending a crafted RAIL Window Alternate Secondary Order with WINDOW_ORDER_ICON can trigger use-after-free, leading to memory corruption and client crash.","publishedAt":"2026-08-01T12:22:18.309Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-03T15:55:40.116Z","severity":{"score":8.7,"label":"High","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","source":"VulnCheck"},"assigner":"VulnCheck","products":["FreeRDP FreeRDP"],"affected":[{"vendor":"FreeRDP","product":"FreeRDP","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"3.29.0","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"3.29.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-34hq-hwjw-q8v3","https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/commit/5370fb26fbf034ecd11d3026b6ad639b5fff493f","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/freerdp-before-use-after-free-via-windowicon-async-message"],"weaknesses":["CWE-416"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:12:41.951Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/67xxx/CVE-2026-67299.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-67299","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-08-01T12:22:18.309Z","dateUpdated":"2026-08-03T15:55:40.116Z","assignerShortName":"VulnCheck","assignerOrgId":"83251b91-4cc7-4094-a5c7-464a1b83ea10","dateReserved":"2026-07-29T13:04:41.947Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"FreeRDP before 3.29.0 Use-After-Free via WindowIcon async message","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a client-side heap use-after-free in the async update message proxy for WINDOW_ICON_ORDER when AsyncUpdate is enabled (e.g. xfreerdp /async-update).
