TightVNC 1.2.6 patch
ref: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vnc-list&m=103073945409801&w=2 ref: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5296 cve: no-match This is now CAN-2002-1336 TightVNC 1.2.7 is out now 1.2.7 changes: - Unix and Win32 versions, Java viewer: The most significant problem with local cursor handling has been solved -- now clients can see remote cursor movements performed on the server or by another client. New PointerPos encoding and cursor shape updates both minimize bandwidth requirements and greatly improve responsiveness of the mouse pointer, while still allow to track correct pointer position in all situations. - Unix and Win32 versions: In all the places where display numbers had to be used, now it's easy to use port numbers as well. The viewers now allow to use new "hostname::port" syntax, in addition to the traditional "hostname:display" format. The same new syntax can be used in the "Add new client" dialog of Win32 server. In the server, now it's equally easy to set display and port numbers. Besides that, HTTP and RFB port numbers can be set individually. - Unix and Win32 versions: In servers, decreased JPEG quality factors for low quality levels. This improves bandwidth usage while the image quality remains satisfactory in most cases. In clients, JPEG compression is now enabled by default, because usually it's a reasonable choice. To prevent viewers from requesting JPEG compression, new -nojpeg option can be used. - Unix version: Bugfix for Xvnc's -localhost and -interface options that were broken on many systems, thanks to Luke Mewburn for the bugfix. Xvnc -version command-line option is now supported. - Tight encoding is now documented in rfbproto.h files within source archives. - Java viewer: Implemented new buttons "Login again" and "Close window" near the disconnect or error messages in the applet mode, and introduced new "Offer Relogin" parameter to control this improvement. Thanks to Peter Astrand for the initial version of the "Login again" patch. - Java viewer: Support for connections via HTTP proxies using HTTP CONNECT method. This will not work in the applet mode, due to Java security restrictions. - Java viewer: Extra .vnc files have been removed, having just index.vnc should be enough. Also, an example HTML page has been prepared, to simplify installation under a standalone Web server. - Java viewer: Added a MANIFEST to the JAR archive, to allow easy execution of the JAR file, using java -jar command-line option. - Other minor improvements and bugfixes. Or consider upgrading to (real)vnc-3.3.6. (-: http://www.realvnc.org/. An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
