AI analysis

FreeRDP versions 3.28.0 and earlier contain an integer divide-by-zero (CWE-369) in the rdpecam camera redirection client, where ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request() parses a server-controlled CAM_MEDIA_TYPE_DESCRIPTION from a StartStreamsRequest PDU but validates only Format and Flags, not FrameRateDenominator. A malicious or compromised RDP server can send a StartStreamsRequest with FrameRateDenominator set to zero, causing ecam_encoder_context_init() (channels/rdpecam/client/encoding.c) to compute FrameRateNumerator / FrameRateDenominator and raise a SIGFPE. The attacker gains a crash and termination of the FreeRDP client process — a denial of service only, with no confidentiality or integrity impact (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3, VA:L only). Only FreeRDP clients running affected 3.x versions with camera redirection enabled are reachable, since the channel must be active for the malformed PDU to be processed. No in-the-wild exploitation is known; a public advisory with a proof-of-concept exists (GHSA-v89x-pc32-hqr7) and EPSS assigns a 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.

What to do: Upgrade to FreeRDP 3.29.0 or later. As an interim mitigation, disable the camera redirection (rdpecam) channel on affected clients or restrict connections to trusted RDP servers. Audit whether any deployed 3.x clients have camera redirection enabled, particularly in VDI environments where the feature is typically used.

Affected
FreeRDP<= 3.28.0 (all versions before 3.29.0)
Estimated exposure
moderatetens of thousands of users at most (FreeRDP is bundled on millions of Linux systems and thin clients, but the rdpecam camera redirection channel is opt-in and… — FreeRDP is the standard open-source RDP client shipped with most Linux distributions and thin-client OSes, but only users who explicitly enable camera redirection and connect to a malicious or compromised RDP server are actually exposed.

Description

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 (affected versions <= 3.28.0) contains a divide-by-zero vulnerability in the rdpecam camera redirection client. ecam_dev_process_start_streams_request() parses a server-controlled CAM_MEDIA_TYPE_DESCRIPTION from a StartStreamsRequest PDU but validates only Format and Flags, not FrameRateDenominator. When a malicious or compromised RDP server sends a StartStreamsRequest with FrameRateDenominator set to zero, ecam_encoder_context_init() (channels/rdpecam/client/encoding.c) computes FrameRateNumerator / FrameRateDenominator, causing an integer division by zero (SIGFPE) and termination of the FreeRDP client process. Camera redirection must be enabled on the client for the channel to be reachable. Fixed in FreeRDP 3.29.0.
