A security patch for freerdp software resolves integer overflow flaws and enhances input validation mechanisms.
Integer overflow due to missing input sanitation in rdpegfx channel

Summary

Integer overflow due to missing input sanitation in rdpegfx channel. The input rectangles from the server are not checked against local surface coordinates and blindly accepted. A malicious server can send data that will crash the client later on (invalid length arguments to a memcpy) (CVE-2020-15103).
The freerdp package has been updated to version 2.2.0, fixing this issue and other bugs.
