TeamViewer fixes flaw letting a remote host attack the computer controlling it

The article describes a TeamViewer flaw, now fixed, in which a malicious or compromised host can attack the connecting viewer during a session. Exploitation can crash the viewer's TeamViewer and, depending on platform, may also allow execution of something further, but the text cuts off before specifying this. No CVE ID, affected versions, fixed versions or exploitation status are given in the excerpt. Defenders should check TeamViewer's own advisory for version details and apply the update, particularly on machines used to connect to untrusted hosts.
