CVE-2026-121400 PUBLISHED

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 CPU Exhaustion via RDG Control Packet

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 03.11.2026 Published: 03.11.2026 Updated: 03.11.2026

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial-of-service vulnerability in rdg_process_control_packet that allows a malicious RD Gateway to exhaust client CPU by sending an incomplete keepalive control packet. Attackers completing the RDG tunnel-open exchange then send an eight-byte header with packetLength 0xFFFF and withhold the body, causing an unbounded no-progress read loop that spins one client thread at full CPU.
