Description
FreeRDP versions prior to 3.32.2 have a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server component. Authenticated RDP clients can exploit this by sending zero-length drdynvc DATA PDUs on audin or rdpgfx channels, causing server threads to spin and consume full CPU cores until the client disconnects.
