FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, `xf_AppUpdateWindowFromSurface` reads from a freed `xfAppWindow` because the RDPGFX DVC thread obtains a bare pointer via `xf_rail_get_window` without any lifetime protection, while the main thread can concurrently delete the window through a fastpath window-delete order. Version 3.23.0 fixes the issue.
