the external payloads ( such as vncdll.dll ), could be considered a
"possible malware threat"
but not the whole package. ( although i guess if kiddies can root your
server, upload msf, launch msfweb, that would give you a remote attack
platform... right ). Further, to include these sigs on a desktop product is
just ignorant.
