FreeRDP 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 Unauthenticated Memory Exhaustion via NLA Frame Parser

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

FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in parse_nla_mode_pdu that allows unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory. Attackers can complete TLS and stream bytes not beginning with the DER SEQUENCE tag 0x30, causing unbounded receive buffer growth before NLA authentication.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2026-111378 is a high public vulnerability record for Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: FreeRDP FreeRDP. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 8.7, EPSS 0.3%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-400, CWE-770. Sources contributing to this record: circl, cve_org, epss, nvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
