Fedora 25: libvncserver Security Update
Summary
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.
