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

  - TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to stack     use-after-return, which occurs due to incorrect usage     of stack memory in ZRLEDecoder. If decoding routine     would throw an exception, ZRLEDecoder may try to access     stack variable, which has been already freed during the     process of stack unwinding. Exploitation of this     vulnerability could potentially result into remote code     execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via     network connectivity.(CVE-2019-15691)

  - TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to heap     buffer overflow. Vulnerability could be triggered from     CopyRectDecoder due to incorrect value checks.
    Exploitation of this vulnerability could potentially     result into remote code execution. This attack appear     to be exploitable via network     connectivity.(CVE-2019-15692)

  - TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to heap     buffer overflow, which occurs in     TightDecoder::FilterGradient. Exploitation of this     vulnerability could potentially result into remote code     execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via     network connectivity.(CVE-2019-15693)

  - TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to heap     buffer overflow, which could be triggered from     DecodeManager::decodeRect. Vulnerability occurs due to     the signdness error in processing MemOutStream.
    Exploitation of this vulnerability could potentially     result into remote code execution. This attack appear     to be exploitable via network     connectivity.(CVE-2019-15694)

  - TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to stack     buffer overflow, which could be triggered from     CMsgReader::readSetCursor. This vulnerability occurs     due to insufficient sanitization of PixelFormat. Since     remote attacker can choose offset from start of the     buffer to start writing his values, exploitation of     this vulnerability could potentially result into remote     code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable     via network connectivity.(CVE-2019-15695)

  - In rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx and rfb/CSecurityTLS.java in     TigerVNC before 1.11.0, viewers mishandle TLS     certificate exceptions. They store the certificates as     authorities, meaning that the owner of a certificate     could impersonate any server after a client had added     an exception.(CVE-2020-26117)

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.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has tigervnc packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - In rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx and rfb/CSecurityTLS.java in TigerVNC before 1.11.0, viewers mishandle TLS     certificate exceptions. They store the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of a     certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception. (CVE-2020-26117)

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

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-000530 advisory.

    In rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx and rfb/CSecurityTLS.java in TigerVNC before 1.11.0, viewers mishandle TLS     certificate exceptions. They store the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of a     certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception.

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

This update for tigervnc fixes the following issues :

CVE-2020-26117: Server certificates were stored as certiticate authorities, allowing malicious owners of these certificates to impersonate any server after a client had added an exception (bsc#1176733)

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

A vulnerability was discovered in tigernvc, a Virtual Network Computing client and server implementation. The viewer implementation mishandles TLS certificate exceptions, storing the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of a certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.0+dfsg-7+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your tigervnc packages.
