3. Description:

LibVNCServer is a library that allows for easy creation of VNC server or
client functionality.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the way screen sizes were handled by LibVNCServer. A malicious VNC
server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code in the client. (CVE-2014-6051)

Two stack-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way LibVNCServer
handled file transfers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the
VNC server using a malicious VNC client. (CVE-2014-6055)

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT
acknowledges Nicolas Ruff as the original reporter.

All libvncserver users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running
applications linked against libvncserver must be restarted for this update
to take effect.
