    Alfredo Ortega (Core Security Technologies) reported a format string
    error in the vinagre_utils_show_error() function in
    src/vinagre-utils.c.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user into opening a specially crafted
    .vnc file or connecting to a malicious server, possibly resulting in
    the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
    running the application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
