## Description

FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the UVC H.264 extension-unit parser that fails to validate descriptor length before accessing the GUID field. A local attacker with a malicious USB video camera can trigger a heap read beyond allocated bounds during camera stream setup, causing denial of service.
