widget for GTK:

CVE-2017-5884

Fix bounds checking for RRE, hextile & copyrec encodings. This bug
allowed a remote server to cause a denial of service by buffer
overflow via a carefully crafted message containing subrectangles
outside the drawing area.

Correctly validate color map range indexes. This bug allowed a
remote server to cause a denial of service by buffer overflow via
a carefully crafted message with out-of-range colour values.
