Seems like it shares some of the same code making it vulnerable to issue on bug #172575. Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:080-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : tightvnc Date : April 10, 2007 Affected: 2007.1 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Local exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in the X.Org and XFree86 X server could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the X server, typically root. The vulnerability exists in the ProcXCMiscGetXIDList() function in the XC-MISC extension. This request is used to determine what resource IDs are available for use. This function contains two vulnerabilities, both result in memory corruption of either the stack or heap. The ALLOCATE_LOCAL() macro used by this function allocates memory on the stack using alloca() on systems where alloca() is present, or using the heap otherwise. The handler function takes a user provided value, multiplies it, and then passes it to the above macro. This results in both an integer overflow vulnerability, and an alloca() stack pointer shifting vulnerability. Both can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-1003) iDefense reported two integer overflows in the way X.org handled various font files. A malicious local user could exploit these issues to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.org server. (CVE-2007-1351, CVE-2007-1352) TightVNC uses some of the same code base as Xorg, and has the same vulnerable code. Updated packages are patched to address these issues. Update: Packages for Mandriva Linux 2007.1 are now available. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1003 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1351 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-1352 _____________________________________________________

Thx Raul. Arches please test and mark stable. Target keywords are: tightvnc-1.2.9-r4.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 ppc sparc x86"
We're stable on x86 :D
amd64 stable
hppa, you need to stabilize =net-misc/tightvnc-1.3.8-r1 Thanks
net-misc/tightvnc-1.3.8-r1 stable for HPPA.
sparc stable.
ppc stable
Alpha stable.
GLSA 200705-10 with bug 172575 (libXfont), thanks everybody.
