From: Petr Matousek Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:41:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] vnc: sanitize bits_per_pixel from the client bits_per_pixel that are less than 8 could result in accessing non-initialized buffers later in the code due to the expectation that bytes_per_pixel value that is used to initialize these buffers is never zero. To fix this check that bits_per_pixel from the client is one of the values that the rfb protocol specification allows. This is CVE-2014-7815.
