The version of tigervnc installed on the remote host is prior to 1.12.0 / 1.13.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-317-01 advisory.

  - A vulnerability classified as critical was found in X.org Server. Affected by this vulnerability is the     function _GetCountedString of the file xkb/xkb.c. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. It is     recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is     VDB-211051. (CVE-2022-3550)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in X.org Server. Affected by this     issue is the function ProcXkbGetKbdByName of the file xkb/xkb.c. The manipulation leads to memory leak. It     is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211052.
    (CVE-2022-3551)

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in X.org Server. This affects an unknown     part of the file hw/xquartz/X11Controller.m of the component xquartz. The manipulation leads to denial of     service. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211053 was assigned to     this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3553)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the XkbCopyNames function left a     dangling pointer to freed memory, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access on subsequent XkbGetKbdByName     requests.. This issue can lead to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running     privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-4283)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs becuase the swap handler for the     XTestFakeInput request of the XTest extension may corrupt the stack if GenericEvents with lengths larger     than 32 bytes are sent through a the XTestFakeInput request. This issue can lead to local privileges     elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code execution for ssh X     forwarding sessions. This issue does not affect systems where client and server use the same byte order.
    (CVE-2022-46340)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the XIPassiveUngrab     request accesses out-of-bounds memory when invoked with a high keycode or button code. This issue can lead     to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code     execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46341)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the     XvdiSelectVideoNotify request may write to memory after it has been freed. This issue can lead to local     privileges elevation on systems where the X se (CVE-2022-46342)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the     ScreenSaverSetAttributes request may write to memory after it has been freed. This issue can lead to local     privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running privileged and remote code execution for ssh     X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46343)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This security flaw occurs because the handler for the XIChangeProperty     request has a length-validation issues, resulting in out-of-bounds memory reads and potential information     disclosure. This issue can lead to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server is running     privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2022-46344)

  - A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs due to a dangling pointer in DeepCopyPointerClasses     that can be exploited by ProcXkbSetDeviceInfo() and ProcXkbGetDeviceInfo() to read and write into freed     memory. This can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and     remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. (CVE-2023-0494)

  - A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation.
    If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a     dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.
    (CVE-2023-1393)

  - A out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. This issue occurs due to an incorrect     calculation of a buffer offset when copying data stored in the heap in the XIChangeDeviceProperty function     in Xi/xiproperty.c and in RRChangeOutputProperty function in randr/rrproperty.c, allowing for possible     escalation of privileges or denial of service. (CVE-2023-5367)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash may occur in a very specific and     legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if     the pointer is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the other screen and if the     original window is destroyed followed by another window being destroyed. (CVE-2023-5380)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-30 (X.Org X Server, XWayland: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - A out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. This issue occurs due to an incorrect     calculation of a buffer offset when copying data stored in the heap in the XIChangeDeviceProperty function     in Xi/xiproperty.c and in RRChangeOutputProperty function in randr/rrproperty.c, allowing for possible     escalation of privileges or denial of service. (CVE-2023-5367)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash may occur in a very specific and     legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if     the pointer is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the other screen and if the     original window is destroyed followed by another window being destroyed. (CVE-2023-5380)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to     a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or     possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved. (CVE-2023-6377)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-server. A specially crafted request to RRChangeProviderProperty or     RRChangeOutputProperty can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to a disclosure of sensitive     information. (CVE-2023-6478)

  - A flaw was found in X.Org server. Both DeviceFocusEvent and the XIQueryPointer reply contain a bit for     each logical button currently down. Buttons can be arbitrarily mapped to any value up to 255, but the     X.Org Server was only allocating space for the device's particular number of buttons, leading to a heap     overflow if a bigger value was used. (CVE-2023-6816)

  - A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The GLX PBuffer code does not call the XACE hook when creating the     buffer, leaving it unlabeled. When the client issues another request to access that resource (as with a     GetGeometry) or when it creates another resource that needs to access that buffer, such as a GC, the     XSELINUX code will try to use an object that was never labeled and crash because the SID is NULL.
    (CVE-2024-0408)

  - A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The cursor code in both Xephyr and Xwayland uses the wrong type of     private at creation. It uses the cursor bits type with the cursor as private, and when initiating the     cursor, that overwrites the XSELINUX context. (CVE-2024-0409)

  - The X.Org project reports: Both DeviceFocusEvent and the XIQueryPointer reply contain a bit     for each logical button currently down. Buttons can be arbitrarily             mapped to any value up to     255 but the X.Org Server was only             allocating space for the device's number of buttons,     leading to a heap overflow if a bigger value was used. If a device has both a button class and a key class     and             numButtons is zero, we can get an out-of-bounds write due             to event under-     allocation in the DeliverStateNotifyEvent             function. The XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent() function     allocates space to             store up to MAXDEVICES (256) xXIHierarchyInfo structures in info.
    If a device with a given ID was removed and a new device with             the same ID added both in the     same operation,             the single device ID will lead to two info structures being     written to info.             Since this case can occur for every device ID at once,             a total of     two times MAXDEVICES info structures might be written             to the allocation, leading to a heap     buffer overflow. The DisableDevice() function is called whenever an enabled device             is disabled     and it moves the device from the inputInfo.devices             linked list to the inputInfo.off_devices     linked list.             However, its link/unlink operation has an issue during the recursive     call to DisableDevice() due to the prev pointer pointing to a             removed device.             This     issue leads to a length mismatch between the total number of             devices and the number of device     in the list, leading to a heap             overflow and, possibly, to local privilege escalation.
