Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0630-01
Posted Mar 21, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0630-01 - Virtual Network Computing is a remote display system which allows users to view a computing desktop environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. TigerVNC is a suite of VNC servers and clients. The tigervnc packages contain a client which allows users to connect to other desktops running a VNC server. Security Fix: A denial of service flaw was found in the TigerVNC's Xvnc server. A remote unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to make Xvnc crash by terminating the TLS handshake process early.
