Description Adam Mariš 2017-01-04 11:17:31 EST
Heap-based buffer overflow was found in ultra.c in LibVNCClient in LibVNCServer before 0.9.11 that allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted FramebufferUpdate message with the Ultra type tile, such that the LZO payload decompressed length exceeds what is specified by the tile dimensions.
