From f9a70e79391f6d7c2a912d785239ee8effc1922d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Lieven Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2014 10:07:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ui/vnc: limit client_cut_text msg payload size currently a malicious client could define a payload size of 2^32 - 1 bytes and send up to that size of data to the vnc server. The server would allocated that amount of memory which could easily create an out of memory condition. This patch limits the payload size to 1MB max. Please note that client_cut_text messages are currently silently ignored.
