FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server's remdesk_server_thread that allows authenticated clients to crash the process via an inverted PDU length check. Attackers can send an 8192-byte remdesk payload declaring an eight-byte PDU length to trigger a fatal Stream_Seek assertion, aborting the server and dropping sessions.
