EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 6.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 64% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

A fix is available — apply it.

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.24.2, progressive_decompress_tile_upgrade() detects a mismatch via progressive_rfx_quant_cmp_equal() but only emits WLog_WARN, execution continues. The wrapped value (247) is used as a shift exponent, causing undefined behavior and an approximately 80 billion iteration loop (CPU DoS). This issue has been patched in version 3.24.2.
