EUVDB-ID: #VU47533

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26117

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper TLS certificate validation in rfb/CSecurityTLS.cxx and rfb/CSecurityTLS.java in TigerVNC. Any previously accepted certificate will be considered trusted, meaning that the owner of a certificate could impersonate any server after a client had added an exception.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
