Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gnome-remote-desktop.

CVE-2025-5024[0]:
| A flaw was found in gnome-remote-desktop. Once gnome-remote-desktop
| listens for RDP connections, an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust
| system resources and repeatedly crash the process. There may be a
| resource leak after many attacks, which will also result in gnome-
| remote-desktop no longer being able to open files even after it is
| restarted via systemd.

At this point in time there is not really much information available
for this apart the first reference from Red Hat[1].

Quoting from there:
| [...] This issue is different and I don't know anything yet. It has
| not been reported to GNOME Security.
|
| This bug is only two days old, though. I guess we'll have more
| information soon.

so guess we will have to wait a bit to get more information.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
