Alpine: multiple gtk-vnc packages: security update to 0.6.0-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400902

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- gtk-vnc before 0.7.0 does not properly check boundaries of subrectangle-containing tiles, which allows
remote servers to execute arbitrary code via the src x, y coordinates in a crafted (1) rre, (2) hextile,
or (3) copyrect tile. (CVE-2017-5884)

- Multiple integer overflows in the (1) vnc_connection_server_message and (2) vnc_color_map_set functions in
gtk-vnc before 0.7.0 allow remote servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code via vectors involving SetColorMapEntries, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2017-5885)
