The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202006-06 (ssvnc: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ssvnc. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in the VNC code of ssvnc, an encryption-capable VNC client..

The vulnerabilities referenced below are issues that have originally been reported against Debian source package libvncserver (which also ships the libvncclient shared library). The ssvnc source package in Debian ships a custom-patched, stripped down and outdated variant of libvncclient, thus some of libvncclient's security fixes required porting over.

CVE-2018-20020

LibVNC contained heap out-of-bound write vulnerability inside structure in VNC client code that can result remote code execution

CVE-2018-20021

LibVNC contained a CWE-835: Infinite loop vulnerability in VNC client code. Vulnerability allows attacker to consume excessive amount of resources like CPU and RAM

CVE-2018-20022

LibVNC contained multiple weaknesses CWE-665: Improper Initialization vulnerability in VNC client code that allowed attackers to read stack memory and could be abused for information disclosure. Combined with another vulnerability, it could be used to leak stack memory layout and in bypassing ASLR.

CVE-2018-20024

LibVNC contained NULL pointer dereference in VNC client code that could result DoS.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.29-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ssvnc packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in the VNC code of iTALC, a classroom management software. All vulnerabilities referenced below are issues that have originally been reported against Debian source package libvncserver. The italc source package in Debian ships a custom-patched version of libvncserver, thus libvncserver's security fixes required porting over.

CVE-2014-6051

Integer overflow in the MallocFrameBuffer function in vncviewer.c in LibVNCServer allowed remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly executed arbitrary code via an advertisement for a large screen size, which triggered a heap-based buffer overflow.

CVE-2014-6052

The HandleRFBServerMessage function in libvncclient/rfbproto.c in LibVNCServer did not check certain malloc return values, which allowed remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by specifying a large screen size in a (1) FramebufferUpdate, (2) ResizeFrameBuffer, or (3) PalmVNCReSizeFrameBuffer message.

CVE-2014-6053

The rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function in libvncserver/rfbserver.c in LibVNCServer did not properly handle attempts to send a large amount of ClientCutText data, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or daemon crash) via a crafted message that was processed by using a single unchecked malloc.

CVE-2014-6054

The rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function in libvncserver/rfbserver.c in LibVNCServer allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and server crash) via a zero value in the scaling factor in a (1) PalmVNCSetScaleFactor or (2) SetScale message.

CVE-2014-6055

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the File Transfer feature in rfbserver.c in LibVNCServer allowed remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) long file or (2) directory name or the (3) FileTime attribute in a rfbFileTransferOffer message.

CVE-2016-9941

Heap-based buffer overflow in rfbproto.c in LibVNCClient in LibVNCServer allowed remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted FramebufferUpdate message containing a subrectangle outside of the client drawing area.

CVE-2016-9942

Heap-based buffer overflow in ultra.c in LibVNCClient in LibVNCServer allowed 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 exceeded what is specified by the tile dimensions.

CVE-2018-6307

LibVNC contained heap use-after-free vulnerability in server code of file transfer extension that can result remote code execution.

CVE-2018-7225

An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer.
rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c did not sanitize msg.cct.length, leading to access to uninitialized and potentially sensitive data or possibly unspecified other impact (e.g., an integer overflow) via specially crafted VNC packets.

CVE-2018-15126

LibVNC contained heap use-after-free vulnerability in server code of file transfer extension that can result remote code execution.

CVE-2018-15127

Pavel Cheremushkin discovered several vulnerabilities in libvncserver, a library to implement VNC server/client functionalities, which might result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3877-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled certain operations. A remote attacker able to     connect to applications using LibVNCServer could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information,     cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Kaspersky Lab discovered several vulnerabilities in libvncserver, a C library to implement VNC server/client functionalities.

CVE-2018-6307

a heap use-after-free vulnerability in the server code of the file transfer extension, which can result in remote code execution. This attack appears to be exploitable via network connectivity.

CVE-2018-15127

contains a heap out-of-bound write vulnerability in the server code of the file transfer extension, which can result in remote code execution. This attack appears to be exploitable via network connectivity.

CVE-2018-20019

multiple heap out-of-bound write vulnerabilities in VNC client code, which can result in remote code execution.

CVE-2018-20020

heap out-of-bound write vulnerability in a structure in VNC client code, which can result in remote code execution.

CVE-2018-20021

CWE-835: Infinite Loop vulnerability in VNC client code. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to consume an excessive amount of resources, such as CPU and RAM.

CVE-2018-20022

CWE-665: Improper Initialization weaknesses in VNC client code, which could allow an attacker to read stack memory and can be abused for information disclosure. Combined with another vulnerability, it can be used to leak stack memory layout and bypass ASLR.

CVE-2018-20023

Improper Initialization vulnerability in VNC Repeater client code, which could allow an attacker to read stack memory and can be abused for information disclosure. Combined with another vulnerability, it can be used to leak stack memory layout and bypass ASLR.

CVE-2018-20024

a NULL pointer dereference in VNC client code, which can result in DoS.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.9+dfsg2-6.1+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvncserver packages.
