Fedora 34: 2022-8b872b9214 Moderate: x11vnc Permission Vulnerability

What WinVNC is to Windows x11vnc is to X Window System, i.e. a server which

serves the current X Window System desktop via RFB (VNC) protocol to the user.

Based on the ideas of x0rfbserver and on LibVNCServer it has evolved into

a versatile and productive while still easy to use program.

This release fixes an insecure permissins of shared memory semgentes created by

an x11vnc server. Previously the segments were readable and writable for any

local user. Now they are accessible only to the user who executed the x11vnc

server.
