CVE-2026-25997
February 25, 2026
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, "xf_clipboard_format_equal" reads freed "lastSentFormats" memory because "xf_clipboard_formats_free" (called from the cliprdr channel thread during auto-reconnect) frees the array while the X11 event thread concurrently iterates it in "xf_clipboard_changed", triggering a heap use after free. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
