Synopsis
vnc bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated vnc packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote display system which allows you to
view a computing "desktop" environment not only on the machine where it is
running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine
architectures.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, the Xvnc server could refuse a connection when it
received the SIGALRM signal during the reading of a password file. With this
update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and
receiving the SIGALRM signal no longer prevents clients from establishing a
connection. (BZ#670249)
- On a system with more than 256 network interfaces, Xvnc terminated
unexpectedly during startup. This error has been fixed, and Xvnc no longer
crashes on systems with a large number of network interfaces. (BZ#673976)
All users of vnc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
