Prior to 3.27.0, rpc_client_recv_fragment in libfreerdp/core/gateway/rpc_client.c ensures the response reassembly stream capacity using only the server-declared alloc_hint rather than the actual StubLength about to be written. A malicious TS Gateway can send a PTYPE_RESPONSE with a small alloc_hint and a much larger frag_length, causing Stream_Write to copy attacker-controlled stub data beyond the 4096-byte pdu->s buffer. This can crash the client and may permit code execution through heap corruption. This issue is fixed in version 3.27.0.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:68707** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7 ELS) · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68707)\n- **RHSA-2026:68706** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS (v. 10.0), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder EUS (v. 10.0) · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68706)\n- **RHSA-2026:61378** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61378)\n- **RHSA-2026:62571** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CRB (v. 8) · released 2026-09-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:62571)\n- **RHSA-2026:65855** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream AUS (v.8.4), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS EXTENSION (v.8.4) · released 2026-09-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65855)\n- **RHSA-2026:66281** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream AUS (v.8.6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS EXTENSION (v.8.6) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66281)\n- **RHSA-2026:66282** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.8.8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream TUS (v.8.8) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66282)\n- **RHSA-2026:61379** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 9) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61379)\n- **RHSA-2026:71390** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.9.4) · released 2026-09-24 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71390)","depth":"midnight","depthScore":60,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":47.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":33563,"id":"CVE-2026-55194","ts":1789010689982,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"8.8"},{"seq":33562,"id":"CVE-2026-55194","ts":1789010689982,"field":"severity","old":"none","new":"high"}]}
