DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Vino, which can be exploited by
malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the
"rfbSendFramebufferUpdate()" function in
server/libvncserver/rfbserver.c when handling client framebuffer
update requests. This can be exploited to cause a crash via a
specially crafted framebuffer update request packet.
SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
