Package        : tigervnc
Version        : 1.7.0+dfsg-7+deb9u2
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-26117
Debian Bug     : 971272

A vulnerability was discovered in tigernvc, a Virtual Network Computing
client and server implementation.  The viewer implementation mishandles
TLS certificate exceptions, storing the certificates as authorities,
meaning that the owner of a certificate could impersonate any server
after a client had added an exception.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.7.0+dfsg-7+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your tigervnc packages.
