Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. 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.
