]]> Production Release of Metalan Administrator 1.9.3.172 R2 http://www.hammer-software.com/downloads.shtml rsseditor@hammer-software.com

- Update to RealVNC Version 4.1.3

Fixes:
- Update VNC to resolve VNC Viewer Vulnerability
http://secunia.com/advisories/32317/
http://secunia.com/advisories/33794/
These vulnerabilities were not exposed when using MetaLAN.
The vulnerabilities were only present when VNCViewer.exe was used
in "Listen Mode". MetaLAN never uses "Listen Mode". This update
mitigates the possibility of a user or program exposing the
vulnerability by manually launching VNCViewer.exe in "Listen Mode".]]> Welcome to our new RSS feed. http://www.hammer-software.com rsseditor@hammer-software.com This feed will inform you any new software releases by Hammer Software.  This will include beta versions for those interested in what we are working on.  Titles will be marked Production release or Beta Release.  Please feel free to let us know what you think of the changes in our software by email or leaving feedback on our website at : http://www.hammer-software.com/yourexperience.php
