Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in ssvnc, the worst of which
could result in the arbitrary execution of code.

Background
==========

The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer, SSVNC, adds encryption security to VNC
connections.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-misc/ssvnc             <= 1.0.29-r2               Vulnerable!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
           to another package if one is available or wait for the
           existing packages to be marked stable by their
           architecture maintainers.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ssvnc. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround

Resolution

Gentoo has discontinued support for ssvnc. We recommend that users
unmerge ssvnc:

  # emerge --unmerge "net-misc/ssvnc"

support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer
will update ssvnc at a later date. An alternative may be a manual SSH
tunnel.
