Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

FreeRDP 3.32.0 之前的版本在 函数中存在双重释放漏洞。当缓冲区部分增长失败时，会留下悬空（dangling）的平面指针。攻击者可以通过使用构造好的 RDP 客户端，协商 NSCodec 并使用较大的桌面几何尺寸来触发分配失败，从而导致服务器在上下文清理（context teardown）期间崩溃。

FreeRDP before 3.32.0 Double Free via NSCodec plane growth failure
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
FreeRDP before 3.32.0 contains a double-free vulnerability in nsc_context_initialize_encode() that leaves dangling plane pointers after a partial buffer growth failure. Attackers using a crafted RDP client can negotiate NSCodec with a large desktop geometry to trigger allocation failure, crashing the server during context teardown.
