Package: vino
Version: 3.22.0-5
Tags: security upstream

Dear maintainers of vino,

last month, I have started working on a audit regarding  
libvncserver+libvncclient in Debian. Code portions from either of  
those libraries have been bundled in the Debian src:pkg "vino":

CVE-2019-15681[0]:
| LibVNC commit before d01e1bb4246323ba6fcee3b82ef1faa9b1dac82a contains
| a memory leak (CWE-655) in VNC server code, which allow an attacker to
| read stack memory and can be abused for information disclosure.
| Combined with another vulnerability, it can be used to leak stack
| memory and bypass ASLR. This attack appear to be exploitable via
| network connectivity. These vulnerabilities have been fixed in commit
| d01e1bb4246323ba6fcee3b82ef1faa9b1dac82a.

CVE-2018-7225
| An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer through 0.9.11.
| rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c does 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-2014-6053
| The rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function in libvncserver/rfbserver.c
| in LibVNCServer 0.9.9 and earlier does not properly handle attempts to
| send a large amount of ClientCutText data, which allows remote attackers
| to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or daemon crash) via
| a crafted message that is processed by using a single unchecked malloc.

Find attached a .debdiff (targetting the vino version in  
testing/unstable) that resolves the above libvncserver related issues  
in vino.

With my LTS team member hat on, I will upload vino to jessie LTS  
within the next hours.

Please let me know, if you will also handle uploads to  
stretch-security and buster-security. Thanks.

Please note, that I have not runtime-tested the vino 3.22.0-5.1  
version, the .debdiff is a simple forward port of what I have been  
working on for Debian jessie LTS. Thanks.

Mike
