Information about package
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.
Vulnerabilities description
- CVE-2025-49175
A flaw was found in the X Rendering extension's handling of animated cursors. If a client provides no cursors, the server assumes at least one is present, leading to an out-of-bounds read and potential crash.
- CVE-2025-49176
A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension. The request length is multiplied by 4 before checking against the maximum allowed size, potentially causing an integer overflow and bypassing the size check.
- CVE-2025-49178
A flaw was found in the X server's request handling. Non-zero 'bytes to ignore' in a client's request can cause the server to skip processing another client's request, potentially leading to a denial of service.
- CVE-2025-49179
A flaw was found in the X Record extension. The RecordSanityCheckRegisterClients function does not check for an integer overflow when computing request length, which allows a client to bypass length checks.
- CVE-2025-49180
A flaw was found in the RandR extension, where the RRChangeProviderProperty function does not properly validate input. This issue leads to an integer overflow when computing the total size to allocate.
