According to the versions of the libvncserver package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A divide by zero issue was found to occur in     libvncserver-0.9.12. A malicious client could use this     flaw to send a specially crafted message that, when     processed by the VNC server, would lead to a floating     point exception, resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2020-25708)

  - An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer before 0.9.13.
    libvncserver/ws_decode.c can lead to a crash because of     unaligned accesses in     hybiReadAndDecode.(CVE-2019-20840)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4434-1 advisory.

    Ramin Farajpour Cami discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled certain malformed unix socket names.
    A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted socket name, leading to a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-20839)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer did not properly access byte-aligned data. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-20840)

    Christian Beier discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled anonymous TLS connections. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-14396)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled region clipping. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-14397)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer did not properly reset incorrectly terminated TCP connections. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2020-14398)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer did not properly access byte-aligned data. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-14399,     CVE-2020-14400)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled screen scaling on the server side. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-14401)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled encodings. A remote attacker could use this issue     to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2020-14402, CVE-2020-14403, CVE-2020-14404)

    It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled TextChat messages. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-14405)
