Amazon Linux 2 : tigervnc, --advisory ALAS2-2026-3231 (ALAS-2026-3231)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 306286

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of tigervnc installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.0-24. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3231 advisory.

 In TigerVNC before 1.16.2, Image.cxx in x0vncserver allows other users to observe or manipulate the screen contents, or cause an application crash, because of incorrect permissions. (CVE-2026-34352)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update tigervnc' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2-2026-3231' to update your system.
