+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).
+
+CVE-2018-7225
