AI-suggested

A fix is available in FreeRDP version 3.32.2. Users should upgrade to version 3.32.2 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated.

Description

FreeRDP versions prior to 3.32.2 contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in the rdg_process_control_packet function. A malicious RD Gateway can exploit this by sending an incomplete keepalive control packet with a large packetLength header but withholding the body. This causes the client to enter an unbounded read loop, spinning one thread at full CPU and exhausting client resources.
