I noticed that the problem only manifests itself if x11vnc is ./configure'd before compilation with the "--with-system-libvncserver" option. Unfortunately, only removing this ./configure option is not sufficient. One needs to make two other modifications to the debian/rules file.
Recompiling the x11vnc package after patching the debian/rules file with the attached patch produces a working x11vnc binary. ** Patch added: "Patch against debian/rules which fixes the issue." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11vnc/+bug/1175098/+attachment/3697446/+files/rules.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175098 Title: x11vnc terminated due to buffer overflow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11vnc/+bug/1175098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
