Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-67292

critical Nessus Plugin ID 331644

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - FreeRDP before 3.29.0 contains a buffer over-disclosure vulnerability in the gateway WebSocket transport (libfreerdp/core/gateway/websocket.c). The client's Pong reply reuses a fixed 1024-byte response stream whose length is not sealed to the actual received Ping payload, so a malicious gateway/WebSocket peer sending a non-empty Ping control frame causes the client to reply with an overlong Pong that discloses bytes beyond the received payload (the peer receives the masking key and can unmask the reply). A zero- length Ping reaches an assertion and terminates the client (denial of service). (CVE-2026-67292)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
