Emmanuel, The XRecord library is in libXtst. In its async handler (record_async_handler), there's no checking of the X reply type other than to check whether it's an error or not. If it gets a non error reply, then it assumes it's a record reply without actually checking. This will cause undefined execution once we get to parse_reply_call_callback.
The next step would be to add a check in record_async_handler to determine if the reply is really an xrecord reply. If not, just toss it and move on. I'll make a test package for this in a bit, but it's end of day for me so someone may beat me to the punch :). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754470 Title: syndaemon consumes 100% CPU -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
