FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.22.0, AUDIN format renegotiation frees the active format list while the capture thread continues using audin->format, leading to a use after free in audio_format_compatible. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.22.0.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
