Re: New VNC Attack tutorial

Can someone clarify which editions/versions are
affected?  Is it the case that Free edition 4.1.1 and earlier are
vulnerable, but that 4.1.2 patches the flaw?

At least one specific version not mentioned that is vulnerable is VNC Enterprise 4.1.3
Further it appears many Darwin x86 vnc installs are either

1. vulnerable
or
2. do not force password creation on install, but this can neither be confirmed nor denied.

one more comment on possible vulnerable VNC implimentations, during penetration testing for clients I came across dedicated DVR/surveillance systems that come prepackaged from the vendor with VNC as the primary form of access to the device / computer. Many of these were
found vulnerable as well.


cheers,
Donnie Werner
