Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes CVE-2014-0011, a ZRLE decoding heap-based buffer overflow in vncviewer. This update contains some small fixes for issues that could cause the server or the viewer to crash, and includes a change that makes vncserver create clearer xstartup files.

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

Solution

Update the affected tigervnc package.
