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. _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.1: a8a6ada09391c2e6a84b21e9df02be0a 2008.1/i586/vinagre-0.5.0-1.1mdv2008.1.i586.rpm eb08aeb2f86562c079477bf0c478c546 2008.1/SRPMS/vinagre-0.5.0-1.1mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64: edeeac6c489b5d1f3863f292c030318f 2008.1/x86_64/vinagre-0.5.0-1.1mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm eb08aeb2f86562c079477bf0c478c546 2008.1/SRPMS/vinagre-0.5.0-1.1mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2009.0: b09a10bb652f5d9afa23e076e139d87c 2009.0/i586/vinagre-2.24.0-1.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm a22e09709e3c947737a2eefa29983175 2009.0/SRPMS/vinagre-2.24.0-1.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64: 5e6214867963cc0d8c3776b05212567a 2009.0/x86_64/vinagre-2.24.0-1.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm a22e09709e3c947737a2eefa29983175 2009.0/SRPMS/vinagre-2.24.0-1.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
