NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc-server-module package and not the tigervnc-server-module package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The CSecurityTLS::processMsg function in common/rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx in the vncviewer component in TigerVNC 1.1beta1 does not properly verify the server's X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof a TLS VNC server via an arbitrary certificate.
