Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious Remote Desktop (RD) Gateway server can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a specially crafted packet header with an excessively large declared length prior to authentication. This causes the client to allocate an excessive amount of system memory, leading to memory exhaustion and application unresponsiveness.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-03 15:20:18 UTC
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a memory allocation vulnerability in rdg_receive_packet that allows a malicious RD Gateway to force a 2 GiB client allocation before tunnel authentication. Attackers can send an eight-byte RDG header declaring packet length 0x7FFFFFFF to trigger pre-authentication memory exhaustion and denial of service.
