"Several vulnerabilities have recently been discovered in TightVNC 1.x,
an X11 based VNC server/viewer application for Windows and Unix.
CVE-2014-6053
The rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function in rfbserver.c in TightVNC
server did not properly handle attempts to send a large amount of
ClientCutText data, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (memory consumption or daemon crash) via a crafted message
that was processed by using a single unchecked malloc.
CVE-2018-7225
rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c did not sanitize
msg.cct.length, leading to access to uninitialized and potentially
sensitive data or possibly unspecified other impact (e.g., an integer
overflow) via specially crafted VNC packets.
CVE-2019-8287
TightVNC code contained global buffer overflow in HandleCoRREBBP macro
function, which could potentially have result in code execution. This
attack appeared to be exploitable via network connectivity.
(aka CVE-2018-20020/libvncserver)
CVE-2018-20021
TightVNC in vncviewer/rfbproto.c contained a CWE-835: Infinite loop
vulnerability. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to consume an
excessive amount of resources like CPU and RAM.
CVE-2018-20022
TightVNC's vncviewer contained multiple weaknesses CWE-665: Improper
Initialization vulnerability in VNC client code that allowed attackers
to read stack memory and could be abused for information disclosure.
Combined with another vulnerability, it could be used to leak stack
memory layout and in bypassing ASLR.
CVE-2019-15678
TightVNC code version contained heap buffer overflow in
rfbServerCutText handler, which could have potentially resulted in
code execution. This attack appeared to be exploitable via network
connectivity.
(partially aka CVE-2018-20748/libvnvserver)
CVE-2019-15679
TightVNC's vncviewer code contained a heap buffer overflow in
InitialiseRFBConnection function, which could have potentially
resulted in code execution. This attack appeared to be exploitable via
network connectivity.
(partially aka CVE-2018-20748/libvnvserver)
CVE-2019-15680
TightVNC's vncviewer code contained a NULL pointer dereference in
HandleZlibBPP function, which could have resulted in Denial of System
(DoS). This attack appeared to be exploitable via network
connectivity.
CVE-2019-15681
TightVNC contained a memory leak (CWE-655) in VNC server code, which
allowed an attacker to read stack memory and could have been abused
for information disclosure. Combined with another vulnerability, it
could have been used to leak stack memory and bypass ASLR. This attack
appeared to be exploitable via network connectivity.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
1.3.9-6.5+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your tightvnc packages.
