Public bug reported: When using Xdmx as a client for Xvnc, when typing $, (as an example of symbol which requires a modifier key to type, Shift + 4 on a UK keyboard), the VNC server segfaults.
Its a null-pointer de-reference, so probably not security critical. I worked up a fix, and it was accepted in SuSE (where I originally discovered the bug). Its reproducable on Ubuntu. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268074 ** Affects: vnc4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Affects: vnc4 (Suse) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Segfault in Xvnc when modifier key is used with Xdmx as a client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
