The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit uncontrolled resource consumption through malformed RDP PDUs (NVD CVE, Red Hat Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.4 (HIGH).

The scope is changed (S:C) with no impact on confidentiality (C:N) or integrity (I:N), but high impact on availability (A:H) (NVD CVE).

Impact

When gnome-remote-desktop listens for RDP connections, an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust system resources and repeatedly crash the process.
