A vulnerability was discovered in tigernvc, a Virtual Network Computing client and server implementation. The viewer implementation mishandles TLS certificate exceptions, storing the certificates as authorities, meaning that the owner of a certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.0+dfsg-7+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your tigervnc packages.
For the detailed security status of tigervnc please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/tigervnc
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
