  - FreeRDP from 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in
    parse_nla_mode_pdu that allows unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory. Attackers can complete
    TLS and stream bytes not beginning with the DER SEQUENCE tag 0x30, causing unbounded receive buffer growth
    before NLA authentication. (CVE-2026-111378)
