Summary
Reject invalid VNC auth response lengths before comparing them against the fixed-size authentication challenge buffer.
rfbCheckPasswordByList()builds a temporary encrypted challenge buffer ofCHALLENGESIZEbytes, but compared it with the caller-provided length. Passing a length larger thanCHALLENGESIZEcould therefore makememcmp()read past the stack buffer.The default password checker had the same implicit fixed-size response assumption, so this patch applies the same validation there as well.

Tested with a minimal local CMake configuration:
cmake -S . -B build-680-patch \ -DWITH_EXAMPLES=OFF \ -DWITH_TESTS=ON \ -DWITH_OPENSSL=OFF \ -DWITH_GNUTLS=OFF \ -DWITH_GCRYPT=OFF \ -DWITH_SDL=OFF \ -DWITH_GTK=OFF \ -DWITH_QT=OFF \ -DWITH_FFMPEG=OFF \ -DWITH_XCB=OFF \ -DWITH_LIBSSHTUNNEL=OFF \ -DWITH_SYSTEMD=OFF \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cmake --build build-680-patch --parallel 1 ctest --test-dir build-680-patch --output-on-failureResult:
Also ran the new regression test with AddressSanitizer enabled:
Closes #680.
