  A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability if they were able to
  trick a user into connecting to a malicious VNC server, or opening a
  specially crafted URI with Vinagre.  With older versions of Vinagre,
  it was possible to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
  In later versions, Vinagre would abort, leading to a denial of service.

  The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.";
