{"id":"CVE-2026-44422","summary":"FreeRDP RDPEAR NDR ref-id aliasing causes client-side UAF/double-free and type confusion","details":"FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, FreeRDP's RDPEAR NDR parser accepts one non-null NDR pointer ref-id for multiple logical pointer fields without tracking the pointed object's expected NDR type or ownership. When the same ref-id is reused across two pointer fields, the parser assigns the same heap object to both output fields. The generic destructor later walks each field independently and destroys/frees both pointers. This causes a malicious-server-triggerable heap use-after-free / double-free in the FreeRDP client's RDPEAR authentication-redirection path. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.","aliases":["GHSA-j9q5-7g8m-jc9v"],"modified":"2026-07-28T03:46:10.804284523Z","published":"2026-05-29T19:41:46.829Z","related":["ALSA-2026:36203","SUSE-SU-2026:22194-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:10948-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:21116-1"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-415","CWE-416"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44422.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-44422.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:36203"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:46393"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-44422"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/44xxx/CVE-2026-44422.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-j9q5-7g8m-jc9v"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-44422"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2483467"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/freerdp/freerdp","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3f6d7cb1f8973cc84c66b258a9a61c4e2b2f30a6"}],"database_specific":{"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","CPE_RANGE"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:freerdp:freerdp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.26.0"}]}}],"versions":["3.5.1","3.5.0","3.4.0","3.3.0","3.2.0","3.1.0","3.0.0","3.0.0-rc0","3.0.0-beta4","3.0.0-beta3","3.0.0-beta2","3.0.0-beta1","2.0.0","2.0.0-rc4","2.0.0-rc3","2.0.0-rc2","2.0.0-rc1","2.0.0-rc0","2.0.0-beta1+android11","2.0.0-beta1+android10","1.2.0-beta1+android9","1.2.0-beta1+android7","1.1.0-beta+2013071101","1.1.0-beta1+ios4","1.1.0-beta1+android5","1.1.0-beta1+android4","1.1.0-beta1+ios3","1.1.0-beta1+ios2","1.1.0-beta1+android3","1.1.0-beta1+android2","1.1.0-beta1+ios1","1.1.0-beta1","1.0.1","1.0.0","1.0-beta5","1.0-beta4","1.0-beta2","1.0-beta1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-44422.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
