Synopsis
========
An integer overflow in TigerVNC might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
TigerVNC is a high-performance VNC server/client.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/tigervnc < 1.4.2 >= 1.4.2
Description
===========
TigerVNC is impacted by the same vulnerability as found in
CVE-2014-6051. An integer overflow, leading to a heap-based buffer
overflow, was found in the way screen sizes were handled.
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.
Resolution
==========
All TigerVNC users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/tigervnc-1.4.2"
