authentication bypass.

<access>remote</access>
<affected>
<package name="net-misc/ltsp" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">4.2-r1</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">4.2-r1</vulnerable>

<p>
The Linux Terminal Server Project adds thin-client support to Linux
servers.

<description>
<p>
The LTSP server includes vulnerable LibVNCServer code, which fails to
properly validate protocol types effectively letting users decide what
protocol to use, such as "Type 1 - None" (GLSA-200608-05). The LTSP VNC
server will accept this security type, even if it is not offered by the
server.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized
access with the privileges of the user running the VNC server.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All LTSP users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/ltsp-4.2-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
