CVE-2026-107613

NULL pointer dereference in TightVNC Server Win8ScreenDriver after failed DXGI re-initialization

Published Oct 8, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Win8ScreenDriver component of GlavSoft TightVNC Server for Windows before 2.8.88 allows an attacker to crash the server, causing a denial of service. When re-initialization of the DXGI Desktop Duplication driver fails in applyNewScreenProperties() (for example after a GPU reset, display hot-plug or session change), m_drvImpl is left NULL and is subsequently dereferenced without a check by executeDetection(), getScreenBuffer(), grabFb(), getScreenPropertiesChanged() and getCursorPosition().
