The remote host is missing an update for the 'gtk-vnc' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The gtk-vnc widget is built by using co-routines, which allows the widget to be completely asynchronous while remaining single-threaded. It was found that gtk-vnc lacked proper bounds checking while processing messages using RRE, hextile, or copyrect encodings. An integer overflow flaw was found in gtk-vnc
