have determined that we are not vulnerable to CVE-2016-10207 (http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/312).
The fix has already been cheery picked into TigerVNC 1.7.0 by upstream. See git log below.

==================================================================================
commit e25272fc74ef09987ccaa33b9bf1736397c76fdf

    TigerVNC 1.7.0

commit f8af13dd93e6723385811798c35d12da70d3641b
Author: Pierre Ossman <ossman at cendio.se>
Date:   Tue Aug 23 17:02:58 2016 +0200

    Proper global init/deinit of GnuTLS

    These are reference counted so it is important to retain symmetry
    between the calls. Failure to do so will result in bad memory access
    and crashes.

    (cherry picked from commit 8aa4bc53206c2430bbf0c8f4b642f59a379ee649)
==================================================================================

Ola, you can upload 1.7.0+dfsg-7 this should close #852639 and #852633.

Regards,
Joachim
