CVE-2025-5024

7.4 HIGH 0.8% exploit odds No fix listed Denial of service

What it is

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 a glance

Exploitability: Can be exploited over the network without logging in, but needs a user to act. High risk of service disruption.
Exploit odds: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
Fix: No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
