# ##Description## #  
# #  
# Sending a ClientCutText Message with a length of 0xFFFFFFFF crashes the server with the #  
# exception shown below. Note: while the vulnerability is present regardless of authentication, #  
# for the sake of simplicity this script only works on servers configured to run with no #  
# authentication. #  
# #  
# winvnc4.exe: The instruction at 0x425BE4 referenced memory at 0xFFFFFF00. The memory could not #  
# be written (0x00425BE4 -> FFFFFF00) #
