GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2014-397
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published October 7, 2014
Updated libvncserver and remmina packages fix security vulnerabilities: A malicious VNC server can trigger incorrect memory management handling by advertising a large screen size parameter to the VNC client. This would result in multiple memory corruptions and could allow remote code execution on the VNC client (CVE-2014-6051, CVE-2014-6052). A malicious VNC client can trigger multiple DoS conditions on the VNC server by advertising a large screen size, ClientCutText message length and/or a zero scaling factor parameter (CVE-2014-6053, CVE-2014-6054). A malicious VNC client can trigger multiple stack-based buffer overflows by passing a long file and directory names and/or attributes (FileTime) when using the file transfer message feature (CVE-2014-6055). The remmina package had been built with a bundled copy of libvncserver. It has been rebuilt against the system libvncserver library to resolve these issues.
