An issue has been found in libvncserver, an API to write one’s own VNC server. Due to some missing checks, a divide by zero could happen, which could result in a denial of service.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.11+dfsg-1.3~deb9u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your libvncserver packages.
For the detailed security status of libvncserver please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libvncserver
