GHSA-3P57-RQ4Q-233X

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-19 15:30 – Updated: 2025-07-29 21:30

Details

A flaw was found in the gnome-remote-desktop used by Anaconda's remote install feature, where a crafted RDP packet could trigger a segmentation fault. This issue causes the service to crash and remain defunct, resulting in a denial of service. It occurs pre-boot and is likely due to a NULL pointer dereference. Rebooting is required to recover the system.

Severity ?

7.1 (High)
