CVE-2026-24679: FreeRDP has a heap-buffer-overflow in urb_select_interface

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.55% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: FreeRDP FreeRDP 3.22.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to FreeRDP FreeRDP 3.22.0 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.22.0, The URBDRC client uses server-supplied interface numbers as array indices without bounds checks, causing an out-of-bounds read in libusb_udev_select_interface. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.22.0.
