CVE-2019-17177

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

libfreerdp/codec/region.c in FreeRDP through 1.1.x and 2.x through 2.0.0-rc4 has memory leaks because a supplied realloc pointer (i.e., the first argument to realloc) is also used for a realloc return value.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
