PSA: VNC vulnerability

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

mechBgon posted this in OS section regarding a VNC vulnerability. Thought it would be necessary to put out here as well. Makes me worry, even though I only use it for the crack rack...

Thanks for the heads up!

Ditto!

Fortunately, I use UltraVNC, and it appears that it isn't affected.

Yes, thanks for the heads up.

Recently, I was able to pick up a good deal on some hardware KVMs so I went that route; UltraVNC is nice, but since all the PCs are in my house walking over to a KVM console isn't a big deal(and the effort of doing so will do me good.)
