CVE-2026-121964
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in the RD Gateway RPC client, where rpc_client_recv_fragment writes BIND_ACK and ALTER_CONTEXT_RESP fragments into a persistent PDU stream after checking only total capacity rather than remaining capacity from the current stream position. A malicious or compromised RD Gateway can send crafted RPC fragments with manipulated alloc_hint and frag_length values to overwrite client heap memory with attacker-controlled data, causing a crash or potentially arbitrary code execution.

Template for a VuXML entry
Check the version numbers before you commit this entry. Some ports share an entry in the CVE database with another port, such as sqlite2 and sqlite3. The version shown here may then be one that never existed for this port.
Ranges per package from the CVE rows that match this port, in pkg notation with the port's epoch and revision, every bound checked with pkg; one range per epoch the port actually had. make newentry in security/vuxml creates the vid.
