Summary

FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server's remdesk_server_thread that allows authenticated clients to crash the process via an inverted PDU length check. Attackers can send an 8192-byte remdesk payload declaring an eight-byte PDU length to trigger a fatal Stream_Seek assertion, aborting the server and dropping sessions.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated RDP client can remotely crash a FreeRDP shadow server, causing session loss for all connected users. This can disrupt remote desktop service delivery.

Recommendation

Update FreeRDP to version 3.32.2 or later. Restrict access to the shadow server to trusted clients.
