Guenal Davalan reported a flaw in x11vnc, a VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session. x11vnc creates shared memory segments with 0777 mode. A local attacker can take advantage of this flaw for information disclosure, denial of service or interfering with the VNC session of another user on the host.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.13-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your x11vnc packages.

For the detailed security status of x11vnc please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/x11vnc

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.
