Description
In TigerVNC 1.7.1 (SSecurityVeNCrypt.cxx SSecurityVeNCrypt::SSecurityVeNCrypt), an unauthenticated client can cause a small memory leak in the server.
A memory leak flaw was found in the way TigerVNC handled termination of VeNCrypt connections. A remote unauthenticated attacker could repeatedly send connection requests to the Xvnc server, causing it to consume large amounts of memory resources over time, and ultimately leading to a denial of service due to memory exhaustion.
