Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for x11vnc.

| scan.c in x11vnc 0.9.16 uses IPC_CREAT|0777 in shmget calls, which

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Given the relative minor change I have already picked up the commit
for a buster-security update as well.

Regards,
Salvatore
