Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'gtk-vnc'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The gtk-vnc packages provide a VNC viewer
widget for GTK. The gtk-vnc widget is built by using co-routines, which allows
the widget to be completely asynchronous while remaining single-threaded. The
following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: gtk-vnc
(0.7.0). (BZ#1416783) Security Fix(es): * It was found that gtk-vnc lacked
proper bounds checking while processing messages using RRE, hextile, or copyrect
encodings. A remote malicious VNC server could use this flaw to crash VNC
viewers which are based on the gtk-vnc library. (CVE-2017-5884) * An integer
overflow flaw was found in gtk-vnc. A remote malicious VNC server could use this
flaw to crash VNC viewers which are based on the gtk-vnc library.

release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 Release Notes linked from the
