How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:9 tigervnc to version 0:1.14.1-8.el9_6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2025-9306.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc package and not the tigervnc package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the X Record extension. The RecordSanityCheckRegisterClients function does not check for an integer overflow when computing request length, which allows a client to bypass length checks.
