In rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx and rfb/CSecurityTLS.java in TigerVNC before 1.11.0, viewers mishandle TLS certificate exceptions. They store the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of a certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to stack buffer overflow, which could be triggered from CMsgReader::readSetCursor. This vulnerability occurs due to insufficient sanitization of PixelFormat. Since remote attacker can choose offset from start of the buffer to start writing his values, exploitation of this vulnerability could potentially result into remote code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity.

TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to heap buffer overflow, which could be triggered from DecodeManager::decodeRect. Vulnerability occurs due to the signdness error in processing MemOutStream. Exploitation of this vulnerability could potentially result into remote code execution.

TigerVNC version prior to 1.10.1 is vulnerable to stack use-after-return, which occurs due to incorrect usage of stack memory in ZRLEDecoder. If decoding routine would throw an exception, ZRLEDecoder may try to access stack variable, which has been already freed during the process of stack unwinding. Exploitation of this vulnerability could potentially result into remote code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity.

A vulnerability was found in tigerVNC. The Xvnc server from tigervnc can crash when a client terminates a TLS connection early. This is due to invalid initialization/deinitialization order of the GnuTLS library.

Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Integer overflow in TigerVNC allows remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to screen size handling, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a similar issue to CVE-2014-6051.

This issue was discovered by Tim Waugh of Red Hat. Tigervnc is affected by same thing as in CVE-2014-6051. Integer overflaw leading to a heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way screen sizes were handled. A Malicious VNC server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the client.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way vncviewer rendered certain screen images from a vnc server. If a user could be tricked into connecting to a malicious vnc server, it may cause the vncviewer to crash, or could possibly execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running it.

Input Validation
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

It was reported [1] that vncviewer could prompt for, and send, authentication credentials to a remote server without first properly validating the X.509 certificate. This could allow a malicious server to obtain a client's credentials because the client does not indicate to the user that a certificate is bad or missing.

A proposed patch [2] is being discussed.
