Descriptions

The rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function in libvncserver/rfbserver.c in LibVNCServer 0.9.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and server crash) via a zero value in the scaling factor in a (1) PalmVNCSetScaleFactor or (2) SetScale message.

La función rfbProcessClientNormalMessage en libvncserver/rfbserver.c en LibVNCServer 0.9.9 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (error de la división por cero y caída del servidor) a través de un valor cero en el factor de escalado en un mensaje (1) PalmVNCSetScaleFactor o (2) SetScale.

A divide-by-zero flaw was found in the way LibVNCServer handled the scaling factor when it was set to "0". A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the VNC server using a malicious VNC client.
