2024-01-23 17:18:01 Aaron Rainbolt description Debian have released a fix to tigervnc for CVE-2023-1393 - see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1051921 It would be good if this security fix was available in Ubuntu too. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.10 Package: tigervnc-standalone-server 1.12.0+dfsg-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.5.0-14.14-generic 6.5.3 Uname: Linux 6.5.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.27.0-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown Date: Sat Jan 6 21:41:15 2024 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-12-01 (1862 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) SourcePackage: tigervnc UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to mantic on 2020-11-06 (1156 days ago) [ Impact ] In the TigerVNC package published for Mantic and earlier releases, it is possible for TigerVNC to be built against a version of xorg-server-source containing a known security vulnerability (CVE-2023-1393). This leaves TigerVNC open to potential attacks as a result. This SRU is essentially a no-change rebuild so that the latest xorg-server-source is picked up, but it also includes a version requirement that ensures that any version of xorg-server-source with the aforementioned CVE will *not* be used during the build. [ Test Plan ] 1: Install TigerVNC server on one machine or VM on the local network. 2: Install TigerVNC client on another machine or VM on the local network. 3: Attempt to remote into the server machine from the cilent and ensure that basic VNC functionality works. [ Where problems could occur ] A typo or accident made during the packaging procedure could result in an FTBFS condition or cause TigerVNC to not function correctly any longer. The newer versions of software TigerVNC is going to be built against could cause similar issues. The test plan and careful review of the debdiffs should avoid this. As this is virtually identical to a no-change rebuild, I do not expect this to have a high likelihood of going wrong. ----- Old bug report: Debian have released a fix to tigervnc for CVE-2023-1393 - see  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1051921 It would be good if this security fix was available in Ubuntu too.
