[slackware-security]  tigervnc (SSA:2024-304-01)

New tigervnc packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
extra/tigervnc/tigervnc-1.12.0-i586-7_slack15.0.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Recompiled against xorg-server-1.20.14, including a patch for a
  security issue:
  By providing a modified bitmap, a heap-based buffer overflow may occur.
  This may lead to local privilege escalation if the server is run as root
  or remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).
  This vulnerability was discovered by:
  Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
  For more information, see:
    https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2024-October/003545.html
