High [CVE-2026-96541] Gnome-remote-desktop: gnome-remote-desktop: unauthenticated rdp sockets lack a handshake deadline
CVE-2026-96541Source published Source updated
A denial-of-service flaw was found in gnome-remote-desktop. An unauthenticated remote attacker can open RDP connections without completing the handshake and retain the connection-throttling slots indefinitely because no pre-authentication handshake deadline is enforced. By exhausting the global connection limit, an attacker can prevent new RDP clients from connecting until a holding socket is closed. By holding open unauthenticated RDP sockets indefinitely, an attacker can exhaust the default global connection limit. Exploitation requires connecting from at least two distinct source IP addresses to fully utilize the default per-source and global connection limits. Existing authenticated RDP sessions remain unaffected. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7.5…
