<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user into opening a specially crafted
|
|
.vnc file or connecting to a malicious server, possibly resulting in
|
|
the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
|
|
running the application.

|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Vinagre users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/vinagre-0.5.2"</code>
