RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
RHEL9 is currently including version 1.2.0 and upstream has recently made a 1.3.0 release of gtk-vnc:
Nov 16, 2021: Release 1.3.0
===========================
o Add API to request screen rotation
o Automatically pick gthread coroutine if ucontext is not available
o Fix meson logic bug when disabling vala
o Honour choice of python when generating keymaps
o Fix error reporting and memory leaks encrypting auth data
o Fix missing includes for GDK quartz and broadway backends
o Switch to GNUTLS for VNC auth challenge to fix empty password handling
o Fix handling of auth subtypes in gvnccapture program
As per the above notes, the only new feature is screen rotation support. Aside from that it is primarily a bug fix release and includes a fix for a regression we introduced in 8.4 tracked in bug 2024233. A rebase is considered to be not significantly higher risk than backporting the various bug fixes.

resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
