"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2017:0630 :

An update for tigervnc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) 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.

Security Fix(es) :

* 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. (CVE-2016-10207)

* A buffer overflow flaw, leading to memory corruption, was found in
TigerVNC viewer. A remote malicious VNC server could use this flaw to
crash the client vncviewer process resulting in denial of service.
(CVE-2017-5581)

Enterprise Linux 6.9 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9
Technical Notes linked from the References section."
