Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A malicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending a malformed drive redirection request with truncated data to a connected client. This request causes the client's drive background worker to exit unexpectedly while leaving the communication channel active. Consequently, subsequent incoming requests accumulate unbounded in memory, exhausting system resources and disrupting the active remote desktop session.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-03 16:37:04 UTC
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability where a malformed drive DEVICE_IOREQUEST with a truncated IRP_MJ_CREATE body silently kills the drive worker. A malicious RDP server can send such an IRP then post further requests that accumulate unbounded in the IrpQueue, exhausting memory and causing session availability loss.
