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.","cvssScore":7.5,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","cwes":["CWE-400"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-96541","tags":[]},{"url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2539385","tags":[]},{"url":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/issues/356","tags":[]},{"url":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/issues/356","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
