The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:18.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream italc package and not the italc package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The HandleRFBServerMessage function in libvncclient/rfbproto.c in LibVNCServer 0.9.9 and earlier does not check certain malloc return values, which allows remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by specifying a large screen size in a (1) FramebufferUpdate, (2) ResizeFrameBuffer, or (3) PalmVNCReSizeFrameBuffer message.
