Description

The CSecurityTLS::processMsg function in common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx in the vncviewer component in TigerVNC 1.1beta1 does not properly verify the server's X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a TLS VNC server via an arbitrary certificate.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-tigervnc
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-tigervnc-server
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-tigervnc-server-applet
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-tigervnc-server-module
