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.
