Background ========= LibVNCServer is a GPL'ed library for creating VNC servers. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-libs/libvncserver < 0.8.2 > = 0.8.2 Description ========== LibVNCServer fails to properly validate protocol types effectively letting users decide what protocol to use, such as "Type 1 - None".

Impact ===== An attacker could use this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access with the privileges of the user running the VNC server. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All LibVNCServer users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =net-libs/libvncserver-0.8.2" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2006-2450 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2006-2450 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200608-05 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
