OK, but some people believe that the 4.0 versions are not affected.
From our IT guys:
We went back and forth a bit with Red hat and our own security folks on
this one. Red Hat distributes V4.0 of Real VNC as opposed to V4.1. The
word I get from everywhere is that V4.0 does not contain the security
flaw that is present in V4.1. So, Red Hat is not providing any updates
to 'solve' this problem that doesn't exist in this version of RealVNC.
Please let me know if this is correct. Is RealVNC 4.0 not affected by
this newly-discovered vulnerability?
Apparently, the 4.0 version is safe on Windows. See the penultimate
paragraph here:

I am most interested in knowing about UNIX/Linux versions. Would they
work the same as the Windows versions or might there be a difference?
