Description

gtk-vnc before 0.7.0 does not properly check boundaries of subrectangle-containing tiles, which allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code via the src x, y coordinates in a crafted (1) rre, (2) hextile, or (3) copyrect tile.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-libgtk-vnc-1-0-0
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libgtk-vnc-2-0-0
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libgvnc-1-0-0
