Application: Serena Dimensions CM Affected versions: 10.1 and later Vulnerability: man-in-the-middle attacks Problem type: remote Problem description: ==================== The client/server connection can be SSL encrypted by setting "-ssl" in the listener.dat. The problem is that the Desktop client accepts any server certificates. They may be self signed or signed by a CA. But there is no user interaction required to accept the certificate. There is also no possibility to configure trusted certificates. The vulnerability allows a man-in-the-middle attack where the attacker can read and modify the data betweeen client and server. This requires to modify the network traffic between client and server. Resolution: =========== There is currently no patch available for this problem.
