[PATCH] ui/vnc-clipboard: fix integer underflow in vnc_client_cut_text_ext

[Mauro Matteo Cascella]

Extended ClientCutText messages start with a 4-byte header. If len < 4,
an integer underflow occurs in vnc_client_cut_text_ext. The result is
used to decompress data in a while loop in inflate_buffer, leading to
CPU consumption and denial of service. Prevent this by checking dlen in
protocol_client_msg.

Fixes: CVE-2022-3165
Fixes: 0bf41cab93e5 ("ui/vnc: clipboard support")
