A denial of service flaw was found in the way Vino handled certain

remote attacker could use this flaw to make the vino-server process enter
an infinite loop when processing those incoming requests. (CVE-2013-5745)

The GNOME session must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this
update to take effect.
