RustDesk < 1.4.7 Uncontrolled Memory Allocation DoS via BytesCodec

Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Oct 1, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

RustDesk versions before 1.4.7 contain an uncontrolled speculative memory allocation vulnerability in BytesCodec. Before authentication, the decoder trusts the payload length encoded in a four-byte frame header and reserves that amount before receiving the payload. A crafted header can request up to 1,073,741,823 bytes of capacity, allowing unauthenticated attackers to use concurrent TCP connections to cause memory exhaustion and denial of service. The fix caps header-triggered speculative preallocation at 256 KiB.
