DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in UltraVNC Viewer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading libraries
(e.g. vnclang.dll) in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to
load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into e.g. opening a VNC
file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the application during installation was configured to
be associated with VNC files (non-default option).

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.8.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted files.
