    Hi,

    The following vulnerability was published for gnome-remote-desktop.

    CVE-2025-4478[0]:
    | A flaw was found in the gnome-remote-desktop used by Anaconda's
    | remote install feature, where a crafted RDP packet could trigger a
    | segmentation fault. This issue causes the service to crash and
    | remain defunct, resulting in a denial of service. It occurs pre-boot
    | and is likely due to a NULL pointer dereference. Rebooting is
    | required to recover the system.

    I'm not entirely sure about this one, the reference is given to the RH
    Bugzilla to [1] and it might relate to the issues reported in [2]. Do
    you happend to know more about this assignment?
