Enhancements:
- Remote users can no longer exploit a vulnerability in the Send and Exchange services to replace files on a
- Timbuktu Pro computer.
- Timbuktu Pro will no longer crash when it receives an incorrectly formatted computer name through the Timbuktu Scanner, and then attempts to connect to that computer with the Send service. Previously, certain incorrect formats could result in a stack buffer overflow when Timbuktu Pro attempted to use the
- computer-name value in the Send window.
- Timbuktu Pro will no longer crash when it receives an incorrectly formatted network packet from a remote
- computer.
- Timbuktu Pro no longer erroneously attempts to use the (Default) value of the Timbuktu Pro NT Users
- registry setting as a Windows NT User SID.
- The GDI scraper technique for remote-control screen capture has been improved. Cursor flickering has been
- reduced.
- The DirectDraw scraper technique for remote-control screen capture has been improved. The cursor will no
- longer jump to previous positions when you view a host computer during a Terminal Services session.
- When a multi-monitor computer is running an incoming Control or Observe session, and the monitors have different resolutions, there is a �dead space� in which no screen data is present. Moving an application window into this area no longer causes the screen-sharing session to fail or Timbuktu Pro to crash.
- Hooking support when running in a Fast User Switch environment has been improved.
