patch available.

  - FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an integer overflow in WinPR's Stream_EnsureRemainingCapacity
    function that allows remote attackers to cause denial of service. A malicious RD Gateway peer can send a
    WebSocket Ping frame with a crafted 64-bit extended payload length to trigger integer wraparound,
    resulting in a double free that crashes the FreeRDP client during connection. (CVE-2026-91960)
