Re: Linux VNC evil client patch - BID 17978
Moreover the vulnerability seems to be exploitable only by client RFB-3.8 [1]
compliant, which means VNC4 (i.e. vnc4-4.1.1+X4.3.0 for linux). VNC3 for Linux
and Windows are RFB-3.3.
This is because the new protocol version implements a different authentication
handshake procedure. In fact attack doesn't work neither patching old clients,
neither using them with the metasploit plugin realvnc_41_bypass.
That's all folks.
