1 important issue:
  • CVE-2025-5024: A flaw was found in gnome-remote-desktop. Once gnome-remote-desktop listens for RDP connections, an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust system resources and repeatedly crash the process. There may be a resource leak after many attacks, which will also result in gnome-remote-desktop no longer being able to open files even after it is restarted via systemd.

commit 494a478453c0204a4535163b8ceee33fb0e570f1

    debian/control: Recommend libmutter, but it's not a strict dependency
    
    gnome-remote-desktop has no build-time or load-time dependencies on
    any mutter code. It only has a runtime assumption that some display
    server will be running that speaks a similar version of the DBus
    protocol it relies on.
    
    Certainly bumping the libmutter version from 17 (GNOME 49) to 18
    (GNOME 50) only brings minimal additions to the protocol. And while the
    protocol XMLs say:
    
    > This API is private and not intended to be used outside of the integrated
    > system that uses libmutter. No compatibility between versions are
    > promised.
    
    we can judge on a version-to-version basis what level of dependency is
    really required.
    
    This helps to avoid archive-wide blockages where we are needlessly waiting
    for gnome-remote-desktop to be updated before a new libmutter can be
    released.
