UltraVNC revision 1211 has a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in VNC server code inside file transfer request handler, which can result in Denial of Service (DoS). This attack appears to be exploitable via network connectivity. This vulnerability has been fixed in revision 1212.
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.
