Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to inadequate encryption strength. A remote attacker with local access to the engineering system or in a privileged network position can capture certain network traffic, and possibly reconstruct access authorization passwords.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
