[slackware-security] tigervnc (SSA:2026-084-02)

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


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
extra/tigervnc/tigervnc-1.16.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
The bug fix release TigerVNC 1.16.1 is now available. This release is
primarily a security release to fix an issue in x0vncserver, where other
users can observe and manipulate the screen contents. Users of
x0vncserver are advised to update immediately.
The release also contains a fix for using the Plain security type with
the new w0vncserver, as well as some translation updates.
