  <description>
    <p>
    The LTSP server includes vulnerable LibVNCServer code, which fails to
    properly validate protocol types effectively letting users decide what
    protocol to use, such as "Type 1 - None" (GLSA-200608-05). The LTSP VNC
    server will accept this security type, even if it is not offered by the
    server.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized
    access with the privileges of the user running the VNC server.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All LTSP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/ltsp-4.2-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
