NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2015-2233.NASL description Updated tigervnc packages that fix two security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) 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. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way TigerVNC handled screen sizes. A malicious VNC server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the client.

NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2015-2233.NASL description Updated tigervnc packages that fix two security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) 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. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way TigerVNC handled screen sizes. A malicious VNC server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the client. (CVE-2014-8240) A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in TigerVNC last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 87144 published 2015-12-02 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/87144 title CentOS 7 : tigervnc (CESA-2015:2233) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2015:2233 and # CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2015:2233 respectively. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(87144); script_version("2.7"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2020/01/02"); script_cve_id("CVE-2014-8240", "CVE-2014-8241"); script_xref(name:"RHSA", value:"2015:2233"); script_name(english:"CentOS 7 : tigervnc (CESA-2015:2233)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated tigervnc packages that fix two security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
