Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Security vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in VNC server of qemu version 0.9.1 and earlier, which could lead to denial-of-service attacks (CVE-2008-2382), and make it easier for remote crackers to guess the VNC password (CVE-2008-5714). The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
