An update for tigervnc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows users to view a computing desktop environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. TigerVNC is a suite of VNC servers and clients. The tigervnc packages contain a client which allows users to connect to other desktops running a VNC server.

Security Fix(es) :

* A denial of service flaw was found in the TigerVNC's Xvnc server. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to make Xvnc crash by terminating the TLS handshake process early. (CVE-2016-10207)

* A buffer overflow flaw, leading to memory corruption, was found in TigerVNC viewer. A remote malicious VNC server could use this flaw to crash the client vncviewer process resulting in denial of service.
(CVE-2017-5581)

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 Technical Notes linked from the References section.

Security Fix(es) :

  - A buffer overflow flaw, leading to memory corruption,     was found in TigerVNC viewer. A remote malicious VNC     server could use this flaw to crash the client vncviewer     process resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2017-5581)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201702-19 (TigerVNC: Buffer overflow)

    A buffer overflow vulnerability in ModifiablePixelBuffer::fillRect in       vncviewer was found.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, utilizing a malicious VNC server, could execute       arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the client or       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
