Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. This vulnerability allows an authenticated remote client to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system memory on the proxy server. When intercepting Dynamic Virtual Channel (DVC) communications, the proxy does not enforce cumulative limits on reassembling fragmented messages. An attacker can exploit this by transmitting incomplete fragments with large declared message sizes, continuously consuming proxy heap memory and degrading service availability.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-03 15:21:14 UTC
FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.2 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the proxy that lets connected clients retain heap memory via intercepted DVC message reassembly. Attackers can declare a large DATA_FIRST length and keep sending fragments without completing the message, growing proxy memory proportional to traffic and degrading service.
