VNC SSH and Linux Security Holes

[Tony Held]

Hi Gang,

If you run the AT&T VNC server in -localhost (i.e.
only allow
connections from the same machine) mode, and use a ssh
tunnel to a MS
windows machine, what potential security threats are
you introducing
to the linux system?

I would like run the VNC server, but if it has
established security
problems it is not worth the risk for me.  However, if
there are no
NEW security issues introduced by running this client
in this way, I
would gladly use the VNC product.


Thanks, Tony
