CORE Security Technologies reports:
A format string error has been found on the vinagre_utils_show_error() function that can be exploited via commands issued from a malicious server containing format string specifiers on the VNC name.
In a web based attack scenario, the user would be required to connect to a malicious server. Successful exploitation would then allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Vinagre user.
