[FW1] Security Implications of using VNC Viewer /WinVNC



Topic is not directly related to FW-1, hence please forgive.
Hello,

	Some of our users wants to use VNCviewer from the Internet to connect to
their desktops via FW-1 WITHOUT using SecuRemote (The desktops are on a
subnet that's not part of our encryption domain due to some historical
reasons! :) ) . Wanted to know your views on this product. How safe is it?
Any reports of security vulnerability, can the packets be sniffed to get the
initial login password or the data itself?
For those not familiar, its almost like PC-Anywhere or other thin clients,
which enables control of a remote desktop or Unix server.
TIA
Gopinath
