Updated vnc packages that fix several bugs are now available.
The Virtual Network Computing (VNC) system allows users to access the same
desktop from a wide variety of platforms. These packages include the vnc
client, vnc, and the Xvnc server, vnc-server.
These updated packages fix the following bugs:
* in certain situations, when one or more clients were connected to the
Xvnc server, the Xvnc server ignored keyboard and mouse inputs.
* the Xvnc server could crash if it processed a malformed PCF file.
* the "SProcShmCreatePixmap()" function failed to byte-swap "pid". This
caused problems for certain clients, when the client and server were
running on different endian architectures. An error such as "BadIDChoice
(invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)" may have occurred. As
well, this bug may have caused some programs using Xvnc to crash.
Users of vnc and vnc-server are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
