No, these risks and others still exist.  If security is a necessity (ie,
outside of a local network, or even inside one if nosy people exist), one
normally tunnels the VNC session inside of SSH or Zebedee or other encrypted
tunnel.  There are a couple of patches to do NT domain authentication, and
there are a couple of "secure VNC" projects floating around (try a Google
search), but for the most part, people tunnel.

Subject: Security Risk?


Am I correct in these three assumptions?

1, this link is talking about the unix version 3.3.3r1
2, this crack is isolated to that specific version
3, vnc in it's current rev, has no known security issues?
