Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: November 05, 2014
Bug(s): #505170
ID: 201411-03
Synopsis
A buffer overflow in TigerVNC could result in execution of
arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
Background
TigerVNC is a high-performance VNC server/client.
Affected Packages
Package: net-misc/tigervnc
Vulnerable: < 1.3.1
Unaffected: >= 1.3.1
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Two boundary errors in TigerVNC could lead to a heap-based buffer
overflow.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious VNC
server using TigerVNC, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All TigerVNC users should upgrade to the latest version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tigervnc-1.3.1"
