Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Description

This update for gnome-remote-desktop fixes the following issues: Update to version 48.3. Security issues fixed: - CVE-2025-5024: an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust system resources (bsc#1244053). Other updates and bugfixes: - Version update to 48.3: + Fix image corruption on some NVIDIA GPUs. - Version upadte to 48.2: + Handle Vulkan dma-buf format compatibility issues.

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause uncontrolled resource consumption in the gnome-remote-desktop service by sending malformed RDP PDUs. This could degrade or disrupt the remote desktop service availability on affected systems. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

CVE-2025-5024 is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in gnome-remote-desktop caused by malformed RDP PDUs. This can lead to excessive resource usage, potentially degrading service availability. Red Hat Product Security rated this issue as moderate severity and released updated gnome-remote-desktop packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 variants including Extended Update Support, Advanced Mission Critical Update Support, Update Services for SAP Solutions, and Telecommunications Update Service. The advisory references Red Hat Bugzilla 2367717 and provides package updates to remediate the issue.

CWE-400Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: High
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design
Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place.
Architecture and Design
Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either: recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or; uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.
