According to its version, the Apple Remote Desktop install on the remote host is earlier than 3.5.4 / 3.7. As such, it is potentially affected the following vulnerabilities :
A format string vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop’s handling of a VNC username. (CVE-2013-5135)
An information disclosure vulnerability exists because Remote Desktop may use password authentication without warning that the connection would be encrypted if a third-party VNC server supports certain authentication types. Note that this does not affect installs of version 3.5.x or earlier. (CVE_2013-5136)
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the full-screen feature that is triggered when handling text entered in the dialog box upon recovering from sleep mode with a remote connection alive. A local attacker can exploit this to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2013-5229)
