CVE-2026-26965

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, in the RLE planar decode path, planardecompressplane_rle() writes into pDstData at ((nYDst+y)  nDstStep) + (4nXDst) + nChannel without verifying that (nYDst+nSrcHeight) fits in the destination height or that (nXDst+nSrcWidth) fits in the destination stride. When TempFormat != DstFormat, pDstData becomes planar->pTempData (sized for the desktop), while nYDst is only validated against the surface by iswithinsurface(). A malicious RDP server can exploit this to perform a heap out-of-bounds write with attacker-controlled offset and pixel data on any connecting FreeRDP client. The OOB write reaches up to 132,096 bytes past the temp buffer end, and  on the brk heap (desktop ≤ 128×128), an adjacent NSC_CONTEXT struct's decode function pointer is overwritten with attacker-controlled pixel data — control-flow–relevant corruption (function pointer overwritten) demonstrated under deterministic heap layout (nsc->decode = 0xFF414141FF414141). Version 3.23.0 fixes the vulnerability.
