Description:
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical sharing system based on the
Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol.
The LibVNCServer project, an open source library for implementing VNC
compliant communication, suffers from a number of bugs that can be potentially
exploited with security impact.
Various implementation issues resulting in remote code execution and/or DoS
conditions on both the VNC server and client side have been discovered.
1. A malicious VNC server can trigger incorrect memory management
handling by advertising a large screen size parameter to the VNC
client. This would result in multiple memory corruptions and could
allow remote code execution on the VNC client.
2. A malicious VNC client can trigger multiple DoS conditions on the VNC
server by advertising a large screen size, ClientCutText message
length and/or a zero scaling factor parameter.
3. A malicious VNC client can trigger multiple stack-based buffer
overflows by passing a long file and directory names and/or attributes
(FileTime) when using the file transfer message feature.
It should be noted that every described issue represents a post-authentication
bug, therefore the server side conditions can be anonymously leveraged only if
the VNC server is configured to allow unauthenticated sessions.
