New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 5.9
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.
Description
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libvncserver, a library to implement VNC server functionality. These vulnerabilities might result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service in both the client and the server side.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.7-2+deb6u1.
This update has been prepared by Nguyen Cong.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Upgrade the affected packages.
