FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.26.0, FreeRDP's planar bitmap decoder has an out-of-bounds heap write when decoding RLE planar data. In libfreerdp/codec/planar.c, freerdp_bitmap_decompress_planar() validates the X destination coordinate nXDst against the caller-provided destination stride (nDstStep) even when it is writing into the internal temp buffer pTempData. An attacker can bypass the check with a large nDstStep and a large nXDst, causing planar_decompress_plane_rle() to write past the end of pTempData. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.26.0.
