DSA-3753 libvncserver – security update

It was discovered that libvncserver, a collection of libraries used to
implement VNC/RFB clients and servers, incorrectly processed incoming
network packets. This resulted in several heap-based buffer overflows,
allowing a rogue server to either cause a DoS by crashing the client,
or potentially execute arbitrary code on the client side.

DSA-3751 libgd2 – security update

A stack overflow vulnerability was discovered within the
gdImageFillToBorder function in libgd2, a library for programmatic
graphics creation and manipulation, triggered when invalid colors are
used with truecolor images. A remote attacker can take advantage of this
flaw to cause a denial-of-service against an application using the
libgd2 library.
