NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc-icons package and not the tigervnc-icons package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in TigerVNC allows remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to screen size handling, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a similar issue to CVE-2014-6051.
