Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in ultra.c in LibVNCClient in LibVNCServer before 0.9.11 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted FramebufferUpdate message with the Ultra type tile, such that the LZO payload decompressed length exceeds what is specified by the tile dimensions.

  • ubuntu-upgrade-italc-client
  • ubuntu-upgrade-italc-master
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libitalccore
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libvncclient1
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libvncserver0
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libvncserver1
