CVE-2026-67297 Details
Description
FreeRDP before 3.29.0 fails to enforce the RESPONSE_SIZE_LIMIT when processing Transfer-Encoding: chunked HTTP responses in http_response_recv_body(). Attackers controlling a malicious RD Gateway endpoint can send oversized chunked response bodies to exhaust client memory resources without triggering the configured size limit.
A resource exhaustion vulnerability has been identified in FreeRDP versions prior to 3.29.0. The issue arises in the HTTP response handling of chunked Transfer-Encoding, where the RESPONSE_SIZE_LIMIT of 64 MiB is not enforced. This allows attackers controlling a malicious RD Gateway endpoint to send oversized chunked responses that exceed the memory limit, leading to client-side memory exhaustion.
Users can upgrade to FreeRDP version 3.29.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
