vnc - authentication bypass vulnerability

Description:

RealVNC is susceptible to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. A malicious VNC client can cause a VNC server to allow it to connect without any authentication regardless of the authentication settings configured in the server. Exploiting this issue allows attackers to gain unauthenticated, remote access to the VNC servers.
