Summary

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a memory allocation vulnerability in rdg_receive_packet. A malicious RD Gateway can send an eight-byte RDG header declaring packet length 0x7FFFFFFF to force a 2 GiB client allocation before tunnel authentication, triggering pre-authentication memory exhaustion and denial of service.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exhaust client memory before authentication, causing application crash or unavailability. This may disrupt user work and productivity.

Recommendation

Update FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later. Where possible, restrict connections to trusted RD Gateway servers.
