It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled decompressing data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-15680) It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in LibVNCServer when sending a ServerCutText message. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(CVE-2019-15681) It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled cursor shape updates. If a user were tricked in to connecting to a malicious server, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-15690, CVE-2019-20788) It was discovered that LibVNCServer incorrectly handled decoding WebSocket frames. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause LibVNCServer to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-18922).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
