Hello,

I'm running VNC 3.3.3r2 under Solaris.

If I have a client watching my session and someone telnets to port 5901 
(corresponding to my display :1), my client hangs until the telnet session 
stops.

This seems like a rather easy denial-of-service attack. Am I doing 
something wrong?

Note that, in my situation, this was found by accident, and doesn't 
actually cause a problem - I simply asked a colleague to use telnet. My 
server is behind a firewall and it's unlikely someone within our network is 
going to do this.

cheers

Ewan MacIntyre
