Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

FreeRDP before 3.22.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in dvcman_channel_close and dvcman_call_on_receive due to improper synchronization of channel_callback access. A malicious RDP server can trigger a race condition by sending DYNVC_DATA and DYNVC_CLOSE messages concurrently, causing heap-use-after-free in the drdynvc client thread and potentially enabling remote code execution or denial of service.
