    Package : libvncserver
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-9941 CVE-2016-9942
    Debian Bug : 850007 850008

    It was discovered that libvncserver, a collection of libraries used to implement VNC/RFB clients and servers, incorrectly processed incoming
    network packets. This resulted in several heap-based buffer overflows,
    allowing a rogue server to either cause a DoS by crashing the client,
    or potentially execute arbitrary code on the client side.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 0.9.9+dfsg2-6.1+deb8u2.

    For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, these
    problems have been fixed in version 0.9.11+dfsg-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libvncserver packages.
