Since we don’t require open TCP ports that anyone on the net can connect to (i.e. open to SYN flood attacks), we’re not vulnerable. In fact we provide extra protection for the Share which is executing WinVNC because we allow only loopback (localhost on 127.0.0.1) connections. It is impossible for an outside computer to connect directly to WinVNC.
