Short explanation

FreeRDP versions before 3.32.2 contain an infinite loop vulnerability in websocket_context_read due to failure to handle a zero BIO result with payload outstanding (S0). A malicious RD Gateway can send a truncated WebSocket frame, causing a client thread to consume high CPU (S0).

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability can cause high CPU consumption leading to denial of service conditions in affected FreeRDP clients (S0).

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories (S0)
  • Update FreeRDP version (S0)
