Pavel Cheremushkin discovered several vulnerabilities in libvncserver, a library to implement VNC server/client functionalities, which might result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in the VNC code of ssvnc, an encryption-capable VNC client..

The vulnerabilities referenced below are issues that have originally been reported against Debian source package libvncserver (which also ships the libvncclient shared library). The ssvnc source package in Debian ships a custom-patched, stripped down and outdated variant of libvncclient, thus some of libvncclient's security fixes required porting over.

CVE-2018-20020

LibVNC contained heap out-of-bound write vulnerability inside structure in VNC client code that can result remote code execution

CVE-2018-20021

LibVNC contained a CWE-835: Infinite loop vulnerability in VNC client code. Vulnerability allows attacker to consume excessive amount of resources like CPU and RAM

CVE-2018-20022

LibVNC contained multiple weaknesses CWE-665: Improper Initialization vulnerability in VNC client code that allowed attackers to read stack memory and could be abused for information disclosure. Combined with another vulnerability, it could be used to leak stack memory layout and in bypassing ASLR.

CVE-2018-20024

LibVNC contained NULL pointer dereference in VNC client code that could result DoS.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.29-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ssvnc packages.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4547-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in the LibVNCServer vendored in     iTALC when sending a ServerCutText message. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2019-15681)

    It was discovered that the LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient vendored in iTALC incorrectly handled certain     packet lengths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information, cause a     denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-15127 CVE-2018-20019, CVE-2018-20020,     CVE-2018-20021, CVE-2018-20022, CVE-2018-20023, CVE-2018-20024, CVE-2018-20748, CVE-2018-20749,     CVE-2018-20750, CVE-2018-7225, CVE-2019-15681)
