CVE-2019-20839 [HIGH] LibVNCServer vulnerabilities
Title: LibVNCServer vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LibVNCServer.
Ramin Farajpour Cami discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled
certain malformed unix socket names. A remote attacker could exploit this
with a crafted socket name, leading to a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-20839)
It was discovered that LibVNCServer did not properly access byte-aligned
data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-20840)
Christian Beier discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled anonymous
TLS connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
