Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ui/vnc: avoid memory corruption if width % VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT != 0

[Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de>]

If you find that patch too strict, I have another patch ready (needs some final testing) which
works around all the possible corruption issues iff

a) width % VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT != 0 (while still keep it working)
b) width > VNC_MAX_WIDTH || heigth > VNC_MAX_HEIGTH
