An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the ZRLE decoder of GlavSoft TightVNC Viewer for Windows before 2.8.88 allows a malicious or compromised VNC server to read heap memory beyond the palette allocation and crash the viewer by sending ZRLE-encoded tiles whose palette indices exceed the declared palette size. readPaletteRleTile() and readPackedPaletteTile() use the attacker-supplied index to look up colours without validating it against the palette size; out-of-bounds heap data is copied into the framebuffer (garbled display) or the read faults, terminating the viewer.
