high Nessus Plugin ID 83803

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

LibVNCServer was updated to version 0.9.10 to fix several security and non-security issues.

The following issues were fixed :

 - Remove xorg-x11-devel from buildRequires, X libraries are not directly used/linked

 - libvncserver-0.9.10-ossl.patch: Update, do not RAND_load_file('/dev/urandom', 1024) if the the PRNG is already seeded. (It always is on linux)

 - Update to version 0.9.10

 + Moved the whole project from sourceforge to https://libvnc.github.io/.

 + Cleaned out the autotools build system which now uses autoreconf.

 + Updated noVNC HTML5 client to latest version.

 + Split out x11vnc sources into separate repository at https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc

 + Split out vncterm sources into separate repository at https://github.com/LibVNC/vncterm

 + Split out VisualNaCro sources into separate repository at https://github.com/LibVNC/VisualNaCro

 + Merged Debian patches.

 + Fixed some security-related buffer overflow cases.

 + Added compatibility headers to make LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient build on native Windows 8.

 + Update LZO to version 2.07, fixing CVE-2014-4607.

 + Merged patches from KDE/krfb.

 + Can now do IPv6 without IPv4.

 + Fixed a use-after-free issue in scale.c.

 - Update Url and download source to new project home

 - Remove LibVNCServer-0.9.9-no_x11vnc.patch; upstream splited it out of main tarball

 - Rebase libvncserver-ossl.patch to upstream changes > libvncserver-0.9.10-ossl.patch

 - Remove linuxvnc subpackage; like x11vnc, it has been splited out but is depreciated and unmaintained.

Solution

Update the affected LibVNCServer packages.
