[Buildroot] [PATCH] libvncserver: add upstream security fix for CVE-2018-7225

[Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>]

Fixes CVE-2018-7225 - An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer through
0.9.11.  rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c does not sanitize
msg.cct.length, leading to access to uninitialized and potentially sensitive
data or possibly unspecified other impact (e.g., an integer overflow) via
specially crafted VNC packets.

+Subject: [PATCH] Limit client cut text length to 1 MB
+
+This patch constrains a client cut text length to 1 MB. Otherwise
+a client could make server allocate 2 GB of memory and that seems to
+be to much to classify it as a denial of service.
+
+The limit also prevents from an integer overflow followed by copying
+an uninitilized memory when processing msg.cct.length value larger
+than SIZE_MAX or INT_MAX - sz_rfbClientCutTextMsg.
+
+This patch also corrects accepting length value of zero (malloc(0) is
+interpreted on differnet systems differently).
