A heads up on new worm affecting previous versions of RealVNC

[Diana Hargus]

Hiyas,

Just had to clean up this new worm from an infected pc.  Apparently the 
vector was through an um-updated VNC on a friend's pc.  Just another reason 
to update and patch.

>From the writeup on the worm at Sophos:

W32/Rbot-GAI spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer 
overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), SRVSVC (MS06-040), 
RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), ASN.1 (MS04-007) and RealVNC (CVE-2006-2369).

Otherwise, it is a great product!

ps  Yes, I told him to update it and even sent him the link to do it, but 
some people  never learn...
