EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : libvncserver (EulerOS-SA-2018-1176)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 110828

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the libvncserver package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- LibVNCServer makes writing a VNC server (or more correctly, a program exporting a framebuffer via the Remote Frame Buffer protocol) easy.It hides the programmer from the tedious task of managing clients and compression schemata.Security Fix(es):An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer through 0.9.11.
rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c does not sanitize msg.cct.length, leading to access to uninitialized and potentially sensitive data or possibly unspecified other impact (e.g., an integer overflow) via specially crafted VNC packets.(CVE-2018-7225)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libvncserver package.
