Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP, a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. The `Stream_EnsureCapacity` function can create an endless blocking loop, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This vulnerability can be exploited on 32-bit systems where the available physical memory is greater than or equal to the `SIZE_MAX` variable, potentially affecting both client and server implementations using FreeRDP.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-25 22:02:16 UTC
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, the function `Stream_EnsureCapacity` can create an endless blocking loop. This may affect all client and server implementations using `FreeRDP`. For practical exploitation this will only work on 32bit systems where the available physical memory is `>= SIZE_MAX`. Version 3.23.0 contains a patch. No known workarounds are available.
