Description:   Opened: 2003-08-05 13:49 0000
As posted here http://www.secunia.com/advisories/9441/ and here
http://www.tightvnc.com/whatsnew.html , for the Unix version of TightVNC "a
buffer overflow has been fixed in vncpasswd" and "A patch to fix input focus
problems in the X11 viewer has been applied".  Other minor patches also added to
version 1.2.9    For Sparc: "Xvnc crashes on Sparc".

------- Comment #1 From Matt Tesauro 2003-08-05 14:21:30 0000 -------
Just created a TightVNC-1.2.9 ebuild.  Here's the steps I took:

cd /usr/portage/net-misc/tightvnc
cp tightvnc-1.2.8.ebuild tightvnc-1.2.9.ebuild
[manual step] made digest-tighvnc-1.2.9  [I'll upload this]
cp tightvnc-1.2.8-gentoo.diff tightvnc-1.2.9-gentoo.diff
cp tightvnc-1.2.8-gentoo.security.patch tightvnc-1.2.9-gentoo.security.patch

emerge /usr/portage/net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9.ebuild
....
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9 merged.

 net-misc/tightvnc
    selected: none
   protected: 1.2.9
     omitted: none

>>> clean: No packages selected for removal.

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

The build worked fine when I tested it against a NT box running TightVNC 1.2.9 server:

mtesauro files $ /usr/bin/vncviewer
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
VNC authentication succeeded

Security Team;

I'm guessing since that we already have tightvnc-1.2.9 in portage, that this is fixed.  Any problems with closing it?

tightvnc is in portage already as weeve pointed out. 
changing resolution to FIXED. Skipping GLSA
