FreeRDP from 3.30.0 before 3.32.0 Resource Exhaustion via rdpecam StartStreamsRequest

Published Oct 16, 2026 · corrected/updated Oct 16, 2026 · Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux · evidence confidence high

FreeRDP from 3.30.0 before 3.32.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the rdpecam client that lets malicious RDP servers request unadvertised camera media types. Attackers can send a StartStreamsRequest with oversized dimensions to force large pending-sample allocations and reconfigure the local camera through the HAL.
