FKIE_CVE-2017-5885

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2017-02-28 18:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 01:21
Summary
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) vnc_connection_server_message and (2) vnc_color_map_set functions in gtk-vnc before 0.7.0 allow remote servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving SetColorMapEntries, which triggers a buffer overflow.
