package/libvncserver: patch CVE-2026-3285{3, 4}

- CVE-2026-32853:
    LibVNCServer versions 0.9.15 and prior (fixed in commit 009008e)
    contain a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the UltraZip
    encoding handler that allows a malicious VNC server to cause
    information disclosure or application crash. Attackers can exploit
    improper bounds checking in the HandleUltraZipBPP() function by
    manipulating subrectangle header counts to read beyond the allocated
    heap buffer.

- CVE-2026-32854:
    LibVNCServer versions 0.9.15 and prior (fixed in commit dc78dee)
    contain null pointer dereference vulnerabilities in the HTTP proxy
    handlers within httpProcessInput() in httpd.c that allow remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted
    HTTP requests. Attackers can exploit missing validation of strchr()
    return values in the CONNECT and GET proxy handling paths to trigger
    null pointer dereferences and crash the server when httpd and proxy
    features are enabled.

Subject: [PATCH] libvncclient: add bounds checks to UltraZip subrectangle
parsing
HandleUltraZipBPP() iterates over sub-rectangles using numCacheRects
(derived from the attacker-controlled rect.r.x) without validating
that the pointer stays within the decompressed data buffer. A malicious
server can set a large numCacheRects value, causing heap out-of-bounds
reads via the memcpy calls in the parsing loop.
Add bounds checks before reading the 12-byte subrect header and before
advancing the pointer by the raw pixel data size. Use uint64_t for the
raw data size calculation to prevent integer overflow on 32-bit platforms.

Subject: [PATCH] libvncserver: fix NULL pointer dereferences in httpd proxy
handlers
httpProcessInput() passes the return value of strchr() to atoi()
and strncmp() without checking for NULL. If a CONNECT request
contains no colon, or a GET request contains no slash, strchr()
returns NULL, leading to a segmentation fault.
Add NULL checks before using the strchr() return values.
