The issue allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit uncontrolled resource consumption through malformed RDP PDUs (NVD CVE, Red Hat Advisory).
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.4 (HIGH). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) but user interaction (UI:R). 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).
When gnome-remote-desktop listens for RDP connections, an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust system resources and repeatedly crash the process. The vulnerability can lead to a resource leak after multiple attacks, preventing gnome-remote-desktop from opening files even after systemd restarts the service (NVD CVE).
