Fedora 25 LibVNCServer Security Advisory for Critical Buffer Overflow

LibVNCServer makes writing a VNC server (or more correctly, a program exporting

a frame-buffer via the Remote Frame Buffer protocol) easy.

It hides the programmer from the tedious task of managing clients and

compression schemata.

Update to latest stable release, include fixes for gnutls and gtk-vnc

compatibility.
