Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rdesktop
Using rdesktop on an AMD64 bit architecutre with the seamlessRDP feature http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/ crashes rdesktop whenever a new window is opened. I've traces this back to some odd definition in the Xorg spec, where 32 bit values are specified as long, regardless of architecture, and hence need to be 64 bit on AMD64. The original code uses uint32_t, which causes crashes during parsing of icons for an enhanced window manager hint. The attached patch fixes the issue, and adds sanity checks to catch similar errors during pointer arithmetic on icon data. The upstream ML seems to be dead, hence the repost here, with the hope that Ubuntu integrates the patch. The patch has been in heavy usage on my machine, and no furhter crashes occured. ** Affects: rdesktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- rdesktop seamless integration crashes on 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
