If you cannot patch yet, consider limiting client connections or monitoring proxy memory usage to mitigate potential impact.

Description

FreeRDP versions from 3.0.0 up to but not including 3.32.2 contain a vulnerability in the proxy component that allows connected clients to cause uncontrolled resource consumption. This occurs through intercepted Dynamic Virtual Channel (DVC) message reassembly, where attackers can declare a large DATA_FIRST length and send incomplete fragments, causing heap memory to grow proportionally to traffic and degrade service availability.
