FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.2 contains an uncontrolled resource allocation vulnerability that allows malicious RDP servers to force large client allocations through the DRDYNVC DATA_FIRST Length field. Attackers can declare lengths up to 4,294,967,295 bytes on running dynamic channels, causing StreamPool_Take to reserve memory before body validation and exhaust client memory.

ciq crlsa-2026_94514: CRLSA-2026_94514: Important: freerdp security, bug fix, and enhancement update

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.2 contains an uncontrolled resource allocation vulnerability that allows     malicious RDP servers to force large client allocations through the DRDYNVC DATA_FIRST Length field.
    Attackers can declare lengths up to 4,294,967,295 bytes on running dynamic channels, causing     StreamPool_Take to reserve memory before body validation and exhaust client memory. (CVE-2026-121388)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote RockyLinux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2026:94514 advisory.
