Severity by source

NVD9.8CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Red Hat3.1CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

Trivy's own label is CRITICAL. Rated critical by NVD. Rated lower by Oracle (medium), Ubuntu (medium), Red Hat (low).

Description

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) vnc_connection_server_message and (2) vnc_color_map_set functions in gtk-vnc before 0.7.0 allow remote servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving SetColorMapEntries, which triggers a buffer overflow.
