It means that anyone who is on the path that the TCP/IP packets take
through the Internet can do bad things. So for instance, if you are
using cable, anyone on the same segment as you could observe what you
are doing, if they felt the need.
Basically, 'raw' VNC on the Internet is a bad idea. It's better to
use some kind of VNC tunneling. The VNC FAQ has an entry on this I
think, and the archives of this list have quite a lot of discussion on
the subject.
