Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

- A divide by zero issue was found to occur in libvncserver-0.9.12. A malicious client could use this flaw to send a specially crafted message that, when processed by the VNC server, would lead to a floating point exception, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2020-25708)

- An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer before 0.9.13.
libvncserver/ws_decode.c can lead to a crash because of unaligned accesses in hybiReadAndDecode.(CVE-2019-20840)

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 packages.
