CVE-2026-109941
FreeRDP 2.3.0 before 3.32.0 Infinite Loop via RD Gateway Chunked Response
Description
FreeRDP from 2.3.0 before 3.32.0 contains an infinite loop vulnerability in http_chuncked_read that allows malicious RD Gateways to hang clients by sending incomplete chunked responses. Attackers can send a partial chunk-size line or footer followed by a clean TLS shutdown, causing zero-byte reads to loop forever and freeze the client decoder thread.
