UltraVNC revision 1206 has stack-based Buffer overflow vulnerability in VNC client code inside FileTransfer module, which leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity. This vulnerability has been fixed in revision 1207.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
