is v. 3.3.3 vulnerable?

Are older versions of RealVNC such as 3.3.3 (for Solaris) vulnerable to the new exploit? I guess I'm using an old version on one of my machines because I compiled against libwrap.a and I'm not sure how to do that again! Mike ___ VNC-List mailing lis

Hi Voor, We've had several reports of this issue under Windows 2000 systems, which is unfortunately caused by a serious memory leak in one of the operating system APIs. We're preparing a workaround and hope to have a fixed release available later today, or tomorrow. Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

$50 to someone who can make gdm + Xvnc a happy couple

Hi, here's a summary: No matter what I do, I can't get Xvnc to talk XDMCP to gdm properly. On Fedora Core 3 or Fedora Core 5. I have tried everything I could think of, and some things I couldn't. Essentially, it's like gdm never sees the XDMCP stuff, but tcpdump on loopback shows they communica
