Detail

Problem Description:

Updated libvncserver packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 6.5) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 6.5) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

LibVNCServer is a library that allows for easy creation of VNC server or client functionality.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way screen sizes were handled by LibVNCServer. A malicious VNC server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code in the client. (CVE-2014-6051)

Two stack-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way LibVNCServer handled file transfers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the VNC server using a malicious VNC client. (CVE-2014-6055)

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT acknowledges Nicolas Ruff as the original reporter.

All libvncserver users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications linked against libvncserver must be restarted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1144287 - CVE-2014-6051 libvncserver: integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in screen size handling 1144293 - CVE-2014-6055 libvncserver: server stacked-based buffer overflow flaws in file transfer handling

Title: RHSA-2014:1827 -- kdenetwork security update (Moderate)
Description: The kdenetwork packages contain networking applications for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Krfb Desktop Sharing, which is a part of the kdenetwork package, is a server application that allows session sharing between users. Krfb uses the LibVNCServer library. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way LibVNCServer handled certain ClientCutText message. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the VNC server by sending a specially crafted ClientCutText message from a VNC client. (CVE-2014-6053) A divide-by-zero flaw was found in the way LibVNCServer handled the scaling factor when it was set to "0". A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the VNC server using a malicious VNC client. (CVE-2014-6054) Two stack-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way LibVNCServer handled file transfers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the VNC server using a malicious VNC client. (CVE-2014-6055) Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting these issues. oCERT acknowledges Nicolas Ruff as the original reporter. Note: Prior to this update, the kdenetwork packages used an embedded copy of the LibVNCServer library. With this update, the kdenetwork packages have been modified to use the system LibVNCServer packages. Therefore, the update provided by RHSA-2014:1826 must be installed to fully address the issues in krfb described above. All kdenetwork users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances of the krfb server must be restarted for this update to take effect.
