TigerVNC is a high-performance VNC server/client.

+
+ +

TigerVNC is impacted by the same vulnerability as found in + CVE-2014-6051. An integer overflow, leading to a heap-based buffer + overflow, was found in the way screen sizes were handled. +

+
+ +

A remote attacker, utilizing a malicious VNC server, could execute + arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the client, or + cause a Denial of Service condition. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All TigerVNC users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tigervnc-1.4.2" + +
