Description

properly abort when someone provides and empty password value. This issue

currently no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-24882)

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Prior to version 2.7.0, server side authentication against a 'SAM' file
might be successful for invalid credentials if the server has configured
an invalid 'SAM' file path. FreeRDP based clients are not affected. RDP
server implementations using FreeRDP to authenticate against a 'SAM' file
are affected. Version 2.7.0 contains a fix for this issue. As a
workaround, use custom authentication via 'HashCallback' and/or ensure the
'SAM' database path configured is valid and the application has file
handles left. (CVE-2022-24883)
