Description:


   LibVNCServer was updated to fix two security issues.

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2016-9941: Heap-based buffer overflow in rfbproto.c allowed remote
     servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
     execute arbitrary code via a crafted FramebufferUpdate message
     containing a subrectangle outside of the client drawing area
     (bsc#1017711)
   - CVE-2016-9942: Heap-based buffer overflow in ultra.c allowed remote
     servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
     execute arbitrary code via a crafted FramebufferUpdate message with the
     Ultra type tile, such that the LZO payload decompressed length exceeds
     what is specified by the tile dimensions (bsc#1017712)
